Abstract
A cooling system for a marine vessel includes a cooling loop with an inlet; a pump configured pump raw cooling water through the cooling loop; and an outlet. A first switching valve is downstream from the inlet and upstream from the pump and a second switching valve is downstream from a heat exchanger and upstream from the outlet. A reservoir has an outlet in fluid communication with the first switching valve and an inlet in fluid communication with the second switching valve. The first switching valve and the second switching valve are switchable between a first position in which the reservoir inlet and outlet are disconnected from the cooling loop and a second position in which the reservoir inlet and outlet are in fluid communication with the cooling loop via the first switching valve. The pump is configured to circulate cleaning solution from the reservoir through the cooling loop.
