5.7. Inlet and Exhaust System
Exhaust circuit description
There are two possible installations of the exhaust system. You need to check the distance between
water injection point and waterline to decide which type of installation you need. This information is
specified in the following drawings.
The elements included in the drawing are essential for the correct genset operation:
-
Waterlock (supplied as accessory) to prevent seawater from entering inside the engine when
it stops.
To calculate the required collector capacity, we must follow the following formula:
-
Goose neck (supplied as accessory)
-
Siphon breaker (supplied as accessory) – needed in case there is less than 150 mm
between the water injection point of wet exhaust and the waterline, or if the point of
injection is below waterline.
Type 1 installation. When between water injection point of wet exhaust and waterline is
minimum 150 mm .
