It should also have connections for makeup feed water. 17-51. Another important function of the surge tank is the maintenance of a positive head of pressure on the engine water pump inlet. The line connecting the bottom of the surge tank to the engine water pump inlet services this function. 17-52. The electric auxiliary water pump shown in figure 17-14 is used to assist the engine driven pump in maintaining the desired coolant flow rate which would have been reduced in remoting the radiator by the line and fitting drop incurred by the additional piping. In the event of a failure of the auxiliary pump, a bypass valve connected across the pump can be opened preventing the complete loss of an emergency standby unit. No component failure which by itself could prevent operation should be overlooked. 17-53. A drain valve should be incorporated to facilitate servicing the radiator. As shown in figure 17-14, the use of a drain valve and water pump bypass valve permits the draining of the radiator, surge tank, and the engine. A strainer is used in the line returning from the radiator to catch dirt, scale, and core sand. 17-54. The fan motor and electric auxiliary pump must be connected to ensure their operation whenever the unit is running. 17-55. For applications in which the radiator is positioned at some distance above the engine centerline, a hot-well tank and an auxiliary water pump are Figure 17-15. Remote Radiator Application "C" 17-18
