5.4.5 Generator Installation below Water-Line
If the generator cannot be attached at least 600 mm above the waterline, a vent valve must be installed at the raw
water line.
Fig. 5.4.5-1: Vent Valve
Possible heeling must be taken into consideration if installed
at the "mid-ship line"!
The water hose for the external vent valve is located at the
back of the sound insulated cover. This hose is split in the
middle and extended respectively at each end by an additio-
nal hose and a connecting nipple. Both hose ends must be
led outside of the sound cover to one point, if possible 600
mm over the waterline in the mid-ship line. The valve is con-
nected at the highest place to the two hose ends.
Note:
The vent valve must be installed directly behind the water pump.
If the water pump ceases, the valve spring ensures that air can enter and therefore, a syphon effect is avo-
ided.
The de-aeration valve must be regularly controlled. If the water pump stops, the valve spring ensures that
air enters. It must be opened, cleaned and greased.
