Locate the generator away from living quarters and away from bilge splashes and vapours.
Select a location that allows adequate space on all sides for ventilation and easy access for service.
A further solution to increase the dampening of vibrations, is adding a plate between the generator
and the boat’s mounting platform. This will also improve the sound insulation. For this plate not less
than 30 mm thick wood and soft mounts (see par. 2.5 “Vibration emission”).
5.3 VENTILATION
Allow for the sufficient intake of cool air for proper engine combustion and the discharge of the heated air while
the generator is running. Since heated air rises, the intake of cool air should be directed into the lower area of
the generator compartment and the heated air should be discharged from the upper area of the compartment.
The minimum distances to obtain correct ventilation of the generator are indicated in par. 2.2 “Minimum air
change distance”.
To ensure optimum air recirculation, it is also necessary to leave free the small ventilation holes provided on
the bottom of the soundproofing capsule (lower protection) in order to allow the combustion air to pass from
below.
