Installation Instructions 8.5.5.1 Raw water installation diagram Fig. 8.5.5.1-1: Example of the raw water installation diagram Page 64 - Chapter 8: Installation Instructions 3.3.22...
The generator exhaust system must be led through the side of the vessel to the outside completely separately from the exhaust system of the main engine or other units. A special water lock is offered in the Fischer Panda accessory list, which also offers highly efficient noise attenuation.
Installation Instructions has free access to the combustion chamber. The raw water then flows by capillary attraction past the pistons and into the engine oil. If it has been ascertained that the engine oil level is unusually high and/or the oil has a grey colour, the engine may no longer be used.
Installation Instructions 8.7.3 The volume of the exhaust water lock The exhaust water lock must be of such dimensions that it can contain the total volume of water flowing back from the exhaust line. The volume of water depends on the length (L) and the diameter of the exhaust line. While the diesel engine is running, cooling water is continuously sprayed into the exhaust system and then forced out by the back pressure of the exhaust gases.
Page 68
Installation Instructions Ideal position of the water lock Fig. 8.7.3.1-1: Ideal position of the water lock As depicted in Fig. 8.7.3.1-1 the water lock is mounted amidships below the generator. When heeling, the position of the water lock relative to the critical point on the exhaust line changes only minimally.
Installation Instructions Summary: It is imperative that the specified minimum height of 600 mm is maintained and this applies only if the water lock is installed in the ideal position amidships below the generator. A higher position is strongly recommended, if a heel of 45 degrees must be taken into account.

Installation Instructions B) Installation distance of 1 000 mm between the exhaust water lock and the centre line of the generator: Installation distance of 1 000 mm between the exhaust Fig. 8.7.3.2-3: Water lock 1 000mm from the mid-line of the water lock and the centre line of the generator: generator 30 degree heel - Fig.
For optimal reduction of the exhaust noise, the use of an additional silencer close to the through-hull fitting is recommended. Fischer Panda offers a component for this purpose that acts as both an "exhaust goose neck" and a water separator. This "exhaust/water separator" enables the cooling water to be led away via a separate line. This greatly reduces the exhaust noise on the outside of the yacht.
