4Exhaust System - Mase Generators IS 6.1 Use, Maintenance And Installation Manual

3.5.4 E
XHAUST SYSTEM
The generator combustion "gas/water exhaust" system
must be independent of that of the main engines.
See installation diagrams.
The pipe length from the highest point of the
exhaust pipe to the exhaust must not exceed 2m
(6.6 ft). This is to prevent that when the generator is
switched off, the water that is left in the exhaust
pipe flows back to the engine after having filled the
barrel exhaust.
Barrel exhaust (capacity 3.5 litres - 0.92 gal).
Attenuates the exhaust noise and prevents water
backflow to the engine. It is recommended to install
the exhaust not more than 1m (3.3f t) from the
generator and to position it at a height equal to or lower
than that of the generator base.
Silencer
Further reduces the noise. It is recommended to install
it at a distance of not more than 1m (3.3ft) from the
sea exhaust union.
Sea exhaust union.
It must be installed in such a position that it is always
above sea level.
Water/gas separator
Separates the water from the gas reducing the noise
at the exhaust and eliminating the typical pulsating
effect of water mixed with gas.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea,
fainting or death. Do not use copper pipes in diesel
exhaust systems. The sulphur contained in diesel
exhausts causes deterioration of the system leading
to exhaust gas or water leaks.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea,
fainting or death.
For the safety of the boat occupants, install a carbon
monoxide detector.
W he n i ns t alli ng the gene ra t or o r c arryi ng out
mai nt e na nc e o pe rat io ns , a do pt the f ollowing
precautions:
Do not install the exhaust gas outlet pipes in places
where the gasses may be conveyed through the
portholes, vents or air conditioning system. If the exhaust
gas outlet is near the water level, water may enter the
exhaust gas outlet and block or limit the gas flow.
