6.8.3.2 Example of the installation of the waterlock off-center and possible effects:
The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the waterlock on sailing yachts.
A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts.
Here it is only necessary to regard that the volume of the waterlock is measured so large that it can take the entire
amount of water flowing back, and at the same time, maintains the minimum distance of 600 mm.
A) Installation of the waterlock 500 mm next to the generator’s center line:
Fig. 6.8.3.2-1: waterlock, 500 mm next to the center line
Fig. 6.8.3.2-2: Tilted position, 15 degrees
Tilted position 15 degrees - Fig. 6.8.3.2-2
The distance is only 404 mm instead of the original 600 mm. So this is very close to the critical point.
