    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.

  • Page 67: The Volume Of The Exhaust Water Lock

    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.

  • Page 69: Example For The Installation Of The Water Lock Outside Of The Mid-Line With Possible Con- Sequences

    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.

  • Page 71: Exhaust/Water Separator

    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.
