Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable media for controlling cooling in a diesel fueled power generation unit. The system includes a first cooling circuit configurable in a first mode for directing an oil coolant portion into main oil cooler and an intercooler coolant portion into an intercooler and configurable in a second mode for limiting the oil coolant portion provided to the main oil cooler. The system also includes a supplementary oil cooler for cooling a portion of the lubrication oil and a supplementary coolant source for providing a second coolant flow to the supplementary oil cooler. The system also includes a second cooling circuit in communication with the supplementary oil cooler configurable in the first mode for limiting the portion of the lubrication oil provided to the supplementary oil cooler and configurable in the second mode for directing the portion of the lubrication oil to the supplementary air oil cooler.
