  • Page 58: Installation Of The Water Cooled Exhaust System

    Installation Instructions 6.5 Installation of the water cooled exhaust system 6.5.1 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 59: Possible Cause For Water In The Exhaust Hose

    Installation Instructions 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. Since at least one discharge valve is always open when the engine is shut off, the sea water has free access to the combustion chamber.

  • Page 60: The Volume Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions 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. This distance should be understood as a minimum distance. 6.6.3 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.

  • Page 62: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    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 63: 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.
