🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of cooler orientation (vertical vs horizontal) on air entrapment and venting • Impact of location relative to the waterline on maintaining a flooded seawater side • How gravity affects drain-down and air pockets in piping and heat exchangers

💭 Think About

• For each option, picture where trapped air would naturally migrate and whether it can escape or be vented easily • Ask yourself: which arrangement is most likely to lose its prime (drain empty) when the pump is secured? • Consider how being above vs. below the waterline affects the cooler’s ability to stay completely full of seawater

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which arrangements are self-flooding due to their position below the waterline • Determine in which orientation (vertical or horizontal) air pockets are harder to purge from the seawater side • Verify which configuration is most likely to suck air instead of water when restarting the seawater pump
