Abstract
A cooling system for the fuel used in a diesel engine includes a closed fuel injection circuit and a fuel cooling circuit. The fuel injection circuit receives fuel through a suction pipe from a fuel tank and provides a continuously circulating flow of fuel. The fuel cooling circuit flows fuel from and back into the fuel tank. A heat exchanger is connected to both of the circuits and flows the fuel from the fuel injection circuit in indirect heat transfer relation with the fuel in the cooling circuit for removing heat from the fuel in the injection circuit.
