3.5.4 EXHAUST SYSTEM
The generator combustion “gas/water exhaust” system
must be independent of that of the main engines.
See installation diagrams.
The pipe length from the highest point of the
exhaust pipe to the exhaust must not exceed 2m
(6.6 ft). Thisis to prevent that when the generator is
switched off, the water that is left in the exhaust
pipe flows back to the engine after having filled the
barrel exhaust.
Barrel exhaust (capacity 3.5 litres - 0.92 gal).
Attenuates the exhaust noise and prevents water
backflow to the engine. It is recommended to install
the exhaust not more than 1m (3.3ft) from the
generator andto positionit at a height equal to or lower
than that of the generator base.
Silencer
Furtherreduces the noise. It is recommended to install
it at a distance of not more than 1m (3.3ft) from the
sea exhaust union.
Sea exhaust union.
It must be installed in such a position that it is always
above sea level.
Water/gas separator
Separates the water from the gas reducing the noise
at the exhaust and eliminating the typical pulsating
effect of water mixed with gas.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea,
fainting or death. Do not use copper pipes in diesel
exhaust systems. The sulphur contained in diesel
exhaustscauses deteriorationof thesystem leading
to exhaust gas or water leaks.
Carbon monoxide may cause strong nausea,
fainting or death.
For the safety of the boat occupants, install a carbon
monoxide detector.
When installing the generator or carrying out
maintenance operations, adopt the following
precautions:
Do not install the exhaust gas outlet pipes in places
where the gasses may be conveyed through the
portholes,vents or air conditioningsystem. If the exhaust
gas outlet is near the water level, water may enter the
exhaust gas outlet and block or limit the gas flow.
