Section 1: Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The installation details are basic guidelines to assist
installation, however due to the great diversity of marine
craft it is unrealistic to give definitive instructions.
Therefore Beta Marine can accept no responsibility for any
damage or injury incurred during the installation of a Beta
Marine generating set whilst following these guidelines.
•
All generating sets should be placed within an
enclosure separated from living quarters and installed
so as to minimise the risk of fires or spread of fires
as well as hazards from toxic fumes, heat, noise or
vibrations in the living quarters.
VENTILATION
Ensure water trap is fitted
to prevent ingress of water
Extraction fan as
high as possible
IMPORTANT!
BetaGen Variants - Natural ventilation to the
acoustic enclosure must be provided.
•
Unless the generating set is protected by a cover or
its own enclosure, exposed moving or hot parts of
the engine that could cause personal injury should be
effectively shielded.
•
Engine parts and accessories that require frequent
inspection and/or servicing must be readily accessible.
•
The insulating materials inside engine spaces shall be
non-combustible.
Air intake as low as possible (approx.
crankshaft height) and opposite to the
fan. The intake should be twice the size
of the outlet
It is recommended that the inlet and outlet areas for the
ventilation are
/
greater than the inlet and outlet areas

built into the acoustic enclosure. If this is not the case
forced ventilation should be considered but not connected
directly to the acoustic enclosure.
