The water level and the critical point at the exhaust elbow are
at the same level now. If the ship is sailed in a tilted position
of 30 degrees with an installation like that, the infiltration of
cooling water into the combustion chamber is inevitable.
Irreparable damages are pre-programmed.
Summary:
Concerning sailing yachts it must be regarded, that the waterlock is mounted in center underneath the generator, at
least in reference to the ships’ center line. Thus the waterlock is prevented from „leaking“ very strongly when the
ship is tilted.
The „leaking“ of the waterlock leads to a rise of the water level which then gets too close to the exhaust elbow’s
critical point.

Exhaust / water separator
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 through-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an
„exhaust goose neck“, and water separator. With this „exhaust/water separator“ the cooling water is derived over a
separate pipe. The exhaust noises emanating from the exterior of the yacht are strongly decreased. Particularly the
„water splash“.
