Waterlock HPW
ENGLISH
3 Installation
3 .1 Installing waterlock HPW
Instal the waterlock as vertical as possible.
Position the waterlock ‘back-to-front’ alongside the engine when
there is insufficient space behind the engine.
Because the waterlock contains water during use, the weight incre-
ases significantly. The waterlock must therefore be mounted on the
deck, as is indicated in the drawing.
n
ote
Make sure the following conditions are met under all sailing
conditions (e.g. heeling):
• The waterlock ‘IN’-connection is located below the level of
the exhaust injection bend.
• the distance between the bottom of the engine's cooling wa-
ter outlet and the highest point of the waterlock is at least 5
cm (2").
For additional exhaust system information see chapter 4.
3 .2 Installing the transom exhaust connection
Fit the transom exhaust connection at such a position that with the
ship fully laden, the outlet is still at least 5 cm (2”) above the water-
line.
3 .3 Exhaust pipe
In order to ensure the proper drainage of the coolant water injected
into the exhaust pipe, the pipe must be installed with a slope down-
ward over its whole length from the water injection point to the wa-
terlock.
W arninG
During operation, the exhaust pipe will contain water . This
will increase its weight considerably, so support the exhaust
pipe properly .
The exhaust pipe from waterlock to transom connection must be in-
stalled in such a way that:
- The highest point in the exhaust pipe should not be more than
150 cm (60”) above the underside of the waterlock.
- The length of the section between the waterlock and the highest
point, should not exceed 300 cm (120”).
3 .4 Hose connections
In order to achieve the ideal connection between the hoses and the
waterlock, both hose connections turn through 360 degrees.
Loosen the bolts before turning the hose connections!
Tighten the hose connections to a torque of 1 Nm (0 .75 ft .lb) .
