Abstract

An engine cooling system is disclosed having two distinct cooling circuits, a primary circuit (40, 35, 41, 42, 31, 43, 38) to supply coolant to the engine (30) and a secondary circuit (44, 37, 45) to provide coolant to a fuel cooler (34) used to cool the fuel used by the engine (30). The supply of coolant for the secondary circuit (44, 37, 45) is extracted from the primary circuit (40, 35, 41, 42, 31, 43, 38) at a position prior to entry of the primary flow into the engine (30). The coolant entering the secondary circuit (44, 37, 45) is therefore cooler than it would be if it were to be extracted downstream from the engine (30).
