MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION
AIR FILTER FOR DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS
The purpose of an industrial air filter use is to ensure a more silent suction. Figure 2 illustrates a system
with filter-silencer and external air outlet, fitted with the separator against the water inlet, to be set at
the shipyard. In this case it will be possible to raise the temperature inside the engine room compared
to that outside, provided that it is compatible with the safety limits of the engines and the presence of
possible electrical or electronic equipment.

The design and realisation of the air feed in the engine room is part of the expertise and responsibility of
the shipyard.
