  • Page 32 Description of Starting System Westerbeke diesel engines use electric starters assisted by glow plugs for both normal and cold weather starting. The fignre below shows a cross-sectional view of one cylinder. The glow plug is located in the combustion chamber so that its tip is in the injector nozzle's spray path. When the glow plug is energized by the PREHEAT button, the plug glows red at the tip and assists in igniting the fuel.
  • Page 33: Preparation For Starting

    This section of the manual provides the operator with preparation, initial starting, break-in, starting (cold or warm) and stopping procedures. Follow the procedures as presented, for the conditions indicated, and your Westerbeke generator set will give you reliable performance and long service life. Take the steps described below in starting your engine for the first time or after a prolonged shutdown or lay-up.

  • Page 47: Cooling System

    COOLING SYSTEM Description Westerbeke marine diesel generators are designed and equipped for fresh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by combustion and friction is transferred to fresh water which circulates throughout the engine. This circulating fresh water cools the engine block and its internal moving parts. The heat is transferred e,,"lernally from the fresh water to raw water by means of a heat exchanger;...
  • Page 48 (-40) Filling the Fresh Water System A coolant recovery tank kit is supplied with each Westerbeke diesel engine. The purpose of this recovery tank is to allow for engine coolant expansion and contraction, during engine operation, without the loss of coolant and without introducing air into the cooling system.
  • Page 49 7. Add coolant to the recovery tank, as required, to top off the fresh water coolant system and periodically check to see that the manifold is full of coolant by removing the pressure cap when the engine is cold. WESTERBEKE GENERATORS...
