SYSTEM
The generator combustion “gas/water exhaust” system
must be independent of that of the main engines.
See installation diagrams.
The pipe length from the highest point of the
exhaust pipe to the exhaust must not exceed 2m
(6.6
ft)
. This is to prevent that when the generator is
switched off, the water that is left in the exhaust pipe
flows back to the engine after having filled the barrel
exhaust.
Barrel exhaust (capacity 3.5 litres - 0.92 gal).
Attenuates the exhaust noise and prevents water
backflow to the engine. It is recommended to install
the exhaust not more than 1m (3.3ft) from the generator
and to position it at a height equal to or lower than that
of the generator base.
Silencer
Further reduces the noise. It is recommended to install
it at a distance of not more than 1m (3.3ft) from the sea
exhaust union.
Sea exhaust union.
I
t
must be installed in such a position that it is always
above sea level.
Water/gas separator
Separates the water from the gas reducing the noise at
the exhaust and eliminating the typical pulsating effect
of water mixed with gas.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea,
fainting or death. Do not use copper pipes in diesel
exhaust systems. The sulphur contained in diesel
exhausts causes deterioration of the system leading
to exhaust gas or water leaks.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea, fainting
or death
.
For the safety of the boat occupants, install a carbon
monoxide detector.
When installing the generator or carrying out maintenance
operations, adopt the following precautions:
Do not install the exhaust gas outlet pipes in places where
the gasses may be conveyed through the portholes, vents
or air conditioning system. If the exhaust gas outlet is
near the water level, water may enter the exhaust gas
outlet and block or limit the gas flow.
