D.3.5 Installation below waterline
If the generator can not be attached at least 600mm over the
waterline, a vent valve must be installed into the seawater
line. With location beside the "midship line" a possible hee-
ling must be considered! The water hose for the external
vent valve at the back of the sound cover splits on the pres-
sure side of the pump and at both ends in each case exten-
ded with a connecting nipple by a hose end. Both hose ends
must be led out outside of the sound cover to one point, if
possible 600mm over the waterlinee in the midship line. The
valve is connected at the highest place with the two hose
ends. If the valve is blocked, the cooling water pipe cannot
be ventilated after the stop of the generator, the water
column is not interrupted and the water can penetrate into the combustion chamber of the engine.
This leads to the destruction of the engine!
The tube bend must be removed. Now the
two ends are extended in each case with a
hose and attached at a value of approx.
600mm over the waterline with a ventila-
tion valve.
