    Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.2-1: Installation area of the waterlock 6.8.3 The volume of the waterlock The waterlock must be measured so large, that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back from the exhaust hose. The amount of water depends on the hoses’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, cooling water is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.

  • Page 75: Ideal Position Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions 6.8.3.1 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.

So the critical distance is under-run already. Fig. 6.8.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig.
  • Page 77 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 78: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    Installation Instructions 6.8.3.2 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 79 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-3 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.

    Installation Instructions 6.11 Installation of the waterlock Pay attention to the right flow direction throught the Note!: 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’...

    Installation Instructions b) Position of the venting valve is too far from the ships’ center line. The water reaches the exhaust area when the ship is tilted. c) The venting valve does not work, because it jams or it is clotted. (The venting valve’s function needs to be checked regularly.) 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.
  • Page 87 Installation Instructions hose. The amount of water depends on the hoses’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, cooling water is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.
  • Page 88: Ideal Position Of The Waterlock

    Installation Instructions 6.11.3.1 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 89 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.11.3.1-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.1-3 The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, changes that only 458 mm distance remain. So the critical distance is under-run already. Fig. 6.11.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig.
  • Page 90 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 91: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects

    Installation Instructions 6.11.3.2 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 92 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.11.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-3 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.
  • Page 93 Installation Instructions B) Installation distance between waterlock and the generator’s center line 1000 mm Fig. 6.11.3.2-5: waterlock, 1000 mm next to center line Fig. 6.11.3.2-6: Tilted position 15 degrees Tilted position 15 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-6 The distance is, contrary to the original 600 mm, only 327 mm.
