6.3.4 Components of Combustion Air
Fig. 6.3.4-1: Combustion air intake
Air Suction Openings at the Sound Insulated Capsule
The sound cover for the marine generator is normally
provided at the lower surface with drilling, through which the
combustion air can inflow.
It must be consistently paid attention that the generator is
installed in such a way that no water can enter from below in
close proximity to these air openings. (Minimum distance 150
mm).
Fig. 6.3.4-2: Drilling for Combustion Air
Drilling for combustion air at the sound insulated
capsule
Drilling at the lower surface of the sound cover serve the
admission of fresh air for the entrance. It must be safe that no
raw water or other water can come into this range of
openings. If air is sucked in through these openings, water
can penetrate also into the sound cover.
Fig. 6.3.4-3: Air Suction Housing
Air suction housing with 12 V DC charge control
The air intake casing (1) in the diagram shows the 12-volt DC
charge control (2). This control must be checked if the 12-volt
DC voltage is no longer correct.
If the cover is removed, the inside of the air suction housing
becomes visible. In these air suction housings is a filter
element. The filter for the marine version is normally
changed. It should be checked once in a while.
