Installation of the cooling system - raw water
5.4.1 General information
The genset should have its own raw water (coolant water) inlet and should not be connected to any other engine
systems. Ensure that the following installation instructions are complied with:
5.4.2 Installation of the through hull fitting in Yachts - scheme
Fig. 5.4.2-1: Position of the through hull fitting
It is good practice for yachts to use a through hull fitting
with an integrated strainer. The through hull fitting (raw
water intake) is often mounted against the sailing
direction to induce more water intake for cooling.
For Panda generators, the through hull inlet should NOT
point in the sailing direction! When sailing at higher speeds
more water will be forced into the inlet than the pump can
handle and your generator will flood.
5.4.3 Quality of the raw water sucking in line
In order to keep the suction resistance in the line at a minimum, the raw water intake system must have a minimum
inner diameter of the raw water intake connection. This applies also to installation components such as through-hull
fitting, sea cock, raw water filter etc.
