Does anybody know of a system of jacket water cooling system using a buffer tank in between the engine and cooling tower? What could be the justification for this buffer tank?

RE: Diesel Engine Cooling System
Water to fluid, or fluid to water, heat exchangers are very common in automotive systems. In fact I think the Prius actually runs a water to water heat exchanger.

That loop is typically cooled by:
radiators, or
heat exchangers and seawater, or
heat exchangers and a cooling tower loop with freshwater makeup
Engine manufacturers often >>strongly suggest<< the use of sizable air separators in the liquid circuits, just to make sure that the pumps are pumping liquid, etc.
