Fig. 6.12.0-4: Cooling Water Expansion Tank
The cooling water can be filled into the External expension
tank.
If the cooling water level no longer drops (the cooling water
level in cold waters must cover the tin in the exhaust elbow),
close the filler cover and the cooling water screws and then
start the generator.
Run the generator for approx. 60 seconds, then switch off
Refill cooling water via the compensation tank.
The external compensation tank should be filled to a max 20%
in a cold state. It is very important that a larger expansion area
is maintained above the cooling water level.
Repeat this procedure several times.
If there is no change to the state of the cooling water level, the generator is re-started for 5 minutes. Thereafter the
de-aeration must be repeated two to three times.
It might be advisable to repeat the venting procedure a couple of days later, to ensure that all air that may have
remained in the system is finally released.
