Diesel Engine Cooling Loops

Additional Cooling Loop Requirements

Make sure you are in compliance with FM Global's requirements for cooling loops on diesel engines. FM Global Approval Standard 1333 was updated in 30 Nov 2013, but compliance was not required until 1 April 2015.

    • High Raw Water Temperature Alarm - This switch is set at 105F (40C).
