The cooling water can reach the exhaust area via the exhaust hose as well as via the cooling water feed. 5.7.1 Possible cause for water in the exhaust hose 5.7.1.1 Possible cause: exhaust hose If the cause is the exhaust hose itself, the following points are to be checked at the hose:...

    Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.2-1: Installation area of the waterlock 5.7.3 The volume of the waterlock The waterlock must be measured so large, that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back from the exhaust hose. The amount of water depends on the hoses’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, cooling water is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.
  • Page 69 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.3.0-1: Volume of the waterlock If there are any doubts, a verification can easily be made by temporarily using a clear-sighted hose (1) as exhaust hose. In that way, the cooling water level can be checked very easily. Fig.

  • Page 70: Ideal Position Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions 5.7.3.1 Ideal position of the waterlock Important Note! The ideal position of the waterlock would be in center underneath the generator. Only in this position it is assured that the water level cannot change drastically in tilted position by the waterlock moving out of the center line.
  • Page 71 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.3.1-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 5.7.3.1-3 The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, changes that only 458 mm distance remain. So the critical distance is under-run already. Fig. 5.7.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig.
  • Page 72 Installation Instructions Summary: The preset minimum height of 600 mm must be regarded unconditionally and is only valid if the waterlock is mounted in its ideal position in center underneath the generator. A higher position is highly recommended if it has to be reckoned with tilted positions of 45 degrees.

  • Page 73: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    Installation Instructions 5.7.3.2 Example of the installation of the waterlock off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the waterlock on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts. Here it is only necessary to regard that the volume of the waterlock is measured so large that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back, and at the same time, maintains the minimum distance of 600 mm.
  • Page 74 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 5.7.3.2-3 The distance between the hydrostatic head and the critical point at the exhaust elbow is only 216 mm. This means that in a tilted position of 30 degrees you already face the highest risk of sea water sloshing into the combustion chamber.
