  • Page 67: Installation Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions Installation of the waterlock Unfortunately, it can occasionally occur that, because of an disadvantageous mounting position of the waterlock, sea water gets into the diesel engines’ combustion chamber. This disables the diesel engine by irreversible damages. Quite frequently, this leads to discussions during which the parties involved in the yachts’ construction or the installa- tion of the generator have to explain themselves.

  • Page 68: Installation Area Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions As it consistently happens that functioning risks are not realised during the laying of the exhaust hose, the following explanations refer explicitly to the exhaust hose. Here, the location, the size and the position of the „waterlock“ play a very decisive role: 5.8.2 Installation area of the waterlock Concerning a water-cooled exhaust system, it must be regarded that - under no circumstances - cooling water from...

The waterlock must necessarily be measured large enough that it can take the entire amount of cooling water and, at the same time, does not exceed the prescribed vertical height of 600 mm up to the critical point at the exhaust elbow.

  • Page 70: Ideal Position Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions 5.8.3.1 Ideal position of the waterlock Important Note! The ideal position of the waterlock would be in center underneath the generator. Only in this position it is assured that the water level cannot change drastically in tilted position by the waterlock moving out of the center line.
  • Page 71 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.8.3.1-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 5.8.3.1-3 The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, changes that only 458 mm distance remain. So the critical dis- tance is under-run already. Fig.
  • Page 72 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 73: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    Installation Instructions 5.8.3.2 Example of the installation of the waterlock off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the waterlock on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts. Here it is only necessary to regard that the volume of the waterlock is measured so large that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back, and at the same time, maintains the minimum distance of 600 mm.
  • Page 74 Installation Instructions Fig. 5.8.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 5.8.3.2-3 The distance between the hydrostatic head and the critical point at the exhaust elbow is only 216 mm. This means that in a tilted position of 30 degrees you already face the highest risk of sea water sloshing into the combustion chamber.
