Mase Generators IS 3.5 Installation Manual page 4

MASE recommend the direct infeed system ref. 1 fig. 3
since this system prevents water under pressure entering
the suction ducts and instead forms a pressure which can
easily be overcome by the water pump of the electric
generator.
IMPORTANT
Do not apply any type of protective hood to the
direct infeed system.
THE DIRECT INFEED SYSTEM SUPPLIED BY MASE
HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO PREVENT SOLID BODIES
ENTERING THE SYSTEM AND BLOCKING IT.
IF OTHER MATERIALS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET
ARE USED, MORE CARE AND MORE FREQUENT
CLEANING IS NECESSARY.
The baffle system might cause the following problems:
a - If it is installed with the slots facing the prow.
In this case, during navigation and with the electric
generator off, pressure is accumulated in the water
infeed duct which might cause the system to fill up,
even as far as the exhaust port, allowing water to enter
the cylinders.
b - If it is installed with the slots facing the stern.
In this case a depression might accumulate in the
water infeed duct during navigation, preventing the
water pump from starting up the cooling plant, or
limiting the capacity and subsequently causing the
electric generator to overheat.
