The coolant can reach the exhaust area via the exhaust duct as well as via the coolant feed. 5.6.3 Possible cause: Exhaust duct If the cause is the exhaust duct itself, the following points are to be checked at the duct: a) Position of the water collector is too high.
  • Page 62: The Volume Of The Exhaust Water Collector

    Installation Instructions Fig. 5.6.5-1: Installation area of the exhaust water collector 5.6.5.1 The volume of the exhaust water collector The exhaust water collector must be measured so large, that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back from the exhaust duct. The amount of water depends on the ducts’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, coolant is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.

    Installation Instructions 5.6.5.2 Position of the water collector Important Note! The ideal position of the water collector would be in center underneath the generator. Only in this position it is assured that the water level can not change drastically in tilted position by the water collector moving out of the center line.
  • Page 65 Installation Instructions Tilted position 30 degrees Fig. 5.6.5.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, chan- ges in a way that only 458 mm distance remain. So the criti- cal distance is under-run already. Tilted position 45 degrees Fig.
  • Page 66 Installation Instructions 5.6.5.3 Example of the installation of the water collector off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the water collector on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts.
  • Page 67 Installation Instructions Tilted position 30 degreed Fig. 5.6.5.3-3: Tilted position 30 degreed 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.

    In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler can be mounted next to the thru-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an "exhaust goose neck", and water separator.

    Installation Instructions Fig. 5.6.7-1: Installation example If the thru-hull exhaust outlet has to be mounted far from the generator, an exhaust-water separator must definitely be installed. The sea water from the separator must then run along the shortest possible path is the thru-hull outlet. For such long exhaust routes, the exhaust hose diameter should also be increased from NW 40 mm to NW 50 mm in order to reduce the back-pressure.
