  • Page 56: Installation Of The Water Cooled Exhaust System

    Installation Instructions 5.6 Installation of the water cooled exhaust system 5.6.1 Installation of the standard exhaust system The generator exhaust system must remain completely independent and separate from the exhaust system of any other unit(s) on board. The water lock must be installed at the lowest point of the exhaust system. An optional noise insulated water lock can also be installed.

  • Page 57: Possible Cause For Water In The Exhaust Hose

    Installation Instructions Thereby, the position of the generator and the waterlock, as well as the arrangement of the cooling water and exhaust hoses play the decisive role. If the waterlock is arranged in an unfavourable position, the cooling water flowing back in the exhaust hose can rise so high, that it reaches the exhaust stack.

  • Page 58: The Volume Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions The deeper the waterlock is located underneath the generator, the better the protection from entering water into the combustion chamber. The picture below shows that the distance between the critical point at the exhaust elbow and the maximum permissible water level in the exhaust hose is stated with 600 mm.
  • Page 59 Installation Instructions center line. See the following pictures: Fig. 5.7.3.1-1: Ideal position of the waterlock In Fig. 5.7.3.1-1, the waterlock is mounted in center underneath the generator. When the ship tilts, the position of the waterlock related to the critical point at the exhaust hose, changes only slightly. Fig.

  • Page 60: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig. 5.7.3.1-4 In this case the water level rise so high, that the distance constitutes only 325 mm. Even when the water lock is mounted in the ideal spot, at an extremely tilted position of 45 degrees there is still the risk that water can get straight into the discharge stack area through strong rocking motions („sloshing“).
  • Page 61 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.7.3.2-2: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig. 5.7.3.2-2 The water level is now at the same height as the critical point at the exhaust elbow. If the ship is sailed in a tilted position of 45 degrees with an installation like this, the ingress of cooling water into the combustion chamber is inevitable.

  • Page 62: Exhaust / Water Separator

    In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler can be mounted next to the through-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an „exhaust goose neck“, and water separator.

  • Page 63: Fuel System Installation
