Engine’s requirements
4.1 Engine Compartment
IMPORTANT:
Boating standards and Coast Guard regulations must be adhered to when construct-
ing the engine compartment.
Care must be exercised in the design and construction of the engine compartment. Seams must be located
so that any rain water that may leak through the seams is directed away from the air intake system. Water that
runs onto the air intake may enter the engine and cause serious damage to internal engine and/or turbocharger
parts.
IMPORTANT:
Vetus will not honour any warranty claim for engine damage as a result of water
entry.
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE! Turbocharger became hot during the engine use.
Take care during installation. The turbocharger should be kept away not less than 30 cm (12 inch) from bulk-
heads or VTR structure. Use thermal protection.
4.1.1 Engine Compartment Ventilation
This section does not cover the design of the ventilation system as it pertains to ventilation of fumes from the
engine compartment. The requirements for ventilation of fumes varies considerably from one boat design to the
next, as well as from country to country, and therefore, the boat manufacturer is responsible for ensuring their
application is in compliance with the appropriate industry regulations and standards.
According to boating standards and Coast Guard regulations the engine compartment ventilation system has
multiple tasks. Included the following:
• To supply the engine with combustion air.
• To maintain a low temperature in the engine compartment.
Fresh air should enter the engine compartment as low as possible and the heated air should be discharged
from the highest point.
If a separate air shaft (or similar) is used to provide engine compartment ventilation, or additional ventilation,
care must be taken to prevent seawater and spray from entering it.
WARNING
Ventilating air is required to clear the bilges, as well as the compartment in which the engine is located, of poten-
tially toxic and flammable vapours.
