C.4.4 Ventilation of the Coolant Circuit / Freshwater
Special notes for the ventilation of the cooling system
If the cooling water is drained, or if other air has entered the cooling system, it is necessary to
ventilate the cooling system. This ventilating procedure must be repeated several times:
ATTENTION! The
generator must be
switched off before
opening the ventila-
ting points!
Pay attention that the external coolant
expansion tank is connected with the
generator by the intended connection
point.
Further it should be guaranteed that the
expansion tank is attached in sufficient
height (600 m) over the level of the gene-
rator exhaust elbow union.
