3.1 Ventilation

Engine combustion, generator cooling, and expulsion of
flammable and lethal fumes require ventilation. Provide
ventilation compliant with USCG regulations governing
the sizing of vents and other considerations.
As a rule, size each inlet- and outlet-vent area to a
minimum of 13 sq. cm/30.5 cm (2 sq. in. per ft.) of the
craft's beam. Should this rule conflict with USCG
regulations, follow USCG regulations. For applications
with screened inlets, double the size (4 sq. in. per ft.) of
the hull/deck openings. Extend the vent ducts to bilges to
expel heavier-than-air fumes.
For generator sets mounted in the engine compartment,
increase the air flow to allow for the generator set's
requirements. Install optional detection devices to
cause alarm, warning, or engine shutdown should
dangerous fumes accumulate in the compartment.
See the generator set specification sheet that shipped
with the generator set for air requirements. The air intake
silencer/cleaner provides combustion air to the engine.
Do not compromise the recommended minimum
clearance (shown in Section 2) between a duct opening
and enclosure wall. The engine/generator performance
will decline if you compromise these guidelines. See
Figure 3-1 for allowable intake restriction.
Note: ISO 3046 derates apply. See Appendix C.

3.2 Cooling System Components

Design the marine generator set's cooling system to
include the following features.
3.2.1 Intake Through-Hull Strainer
(Seacock Cover)
Install a screened-intake, through-hull strainer to
prevent entry of foreign objects.
slotted-hole, or unrestricted-hole design strainers. See
Figure 3-2 for examples of typical strainers. The inner
diameter of the strainer opening must be equal to or
greater than the inner diameter of the water line hose to
the seawater pump.
