HFO circulation

LS,
On board ships the HFO is circulated over the engine. What is the main reason for this circulation. Cooling, and if yes of what? Or for controlling?
Thanks,

HFO can do some strange things at times, especially if is residual fuel, it gells, drops out waxes, gets pockets of aromatics, and sometimes generates hard deposits in low flow areas and fittings. So keeping it hot and moving minimizes those problems.
Hope that helps
