You may also find that the engine could be run at a lesser load with not much decline in its GPM output.
We are pumping water. We use an identical pump with a 1000 hp detroit V12. That engine doesnt work too hard at all but this poor bastard works its ass off.
Heat exchanger where?
We cant run it any slower, it has to run at a minimum pressure and we turned it down as far as we can.
