Electrical System
The generator engine uses a closed cooling system
with a seawater-cooled heat exchanger. A sacrifi -
cial anode in the seawater cooling system protects
generator components that are in contact with
seawater. There is coolant recovery tank for the
engine coolant mounted on the stringer near the
generator. Make sure the fluid level in the coolant
recovery tank is kept between the maximum and
minimum lines of the tank.
The seawater cooling system includes a strainer
that prevents debris in the seawater from enter-
ing the cooling pump. The strainer and a seacock
valve is located in the aft systems compartment
bilge near the generator. It is important to check
and clean the strainer regularly to ensure the
seawater system can circulate enough water to
provide cooling for the closed cooling and exhaust
systems on the generator. You should also make
sure the generator seacock valve is open each
time the generator is started.
Refer to the Raw Water Systems Maintenance
section in the Raw Water System Chapter of this
manual for instructions on cleaning the generator
sea strainer.
Notice
The generator may not be able to operate
all 120 volt accessories at the same time.
POWER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES may need
to be observed depending on the AC power
load.
Notice:
Generators consume DC electrical current
and charge the House batteries just enough
to compensate for the DC electrical current
the engine requires to operate. Therefore, it
is important to activate the battery chargers
to maintain the House and Engine batteries
whenever the generator is running.
The generator diesel fuel system is different than
the fuel system for the main engines. Refer to
the Fuel System chapter for more information on
generator fuel system.
You also should read the generator owner’s manual
for detailed information on the safe operation and
maintenance of the generator.
DANGER
GENERATOR ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE
WHICH IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS
AND ODORLESS. IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL
CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS. ONLY OPERATE THE
GENERATOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS AND NEVER
OPERATE THE GENERATOR WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING.
