D.3 Cooling System Installation - Raw Water
D.3.1 General Information
The genset should have its own raw water (coolant water) inlet and should not be connected to
any other engine systems. Ensure that the following installation instructions are complied with:
For the avoidance of galvanic corrosion, refer to the chapter "Service instruction for
marine generators (corrosion protection)".
D.3.2 Installation of the thru hull fitting in Yachts
It is good practice for yachts to use a thru
hull fitting with an integrated strainer. The
thru hull fitting (raw water intake) is often
mounted against the sailing direction to
induce more water intake for cooling.
For Panda generators, the thru hull inlet
should NOT point in the sailing direction!
When sailing at higher speeds more water
will be forced into the inlet than the pump
can handle and your generator will flood!
