PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
Space and Ventilation Requirements
Several issues should be addressed when determining the optimal installation location for
your DC genset: Ventilation, Cooling, Fuel Supply, Exhausting, Ease of Maintenance and
Repair, Protection from the Elements.
Ventilation:
Both the genset’s diesel engine and high-output alternator require substantial
airflow to ensure adequate cooling. The installation site should be free of any potential
obstructions that could inhibit airflow. If
airflow at the installation site is
compromised, it may be necessary to
introduce additional airflow with the
addition of a fan or blower. Should you
want the fan or blower to operate only
when the genset is in operation, power
may be pulled from the genset’s oil
pressure switch or from the positive side
of the genset’s ignition switch.
Fuel System:
Fuel input fittings at the
engine are
1
/4" in and
1
/4" out. Preferred
installations include a primary fuel filter
with water separator (Racor type) before
the engine. An electric or manual fuel
pump and inline filter is installed on the
genset. Adequate room for fuel filters and
fuel pump must be provided.
Exhausting:
The DC genset is designed to
be matched with a 1
3
/
4” exhaust. The installation site should provide ample space for the
inclusion of the exhaust system. Each system will vary, based on ducting material, muffler
type and thru-hull. Exhaust can be directed toward the front or rear of the genset.
Maintenance:
The DC Genset is designed to provide access to most commonly required
service points on the same side of the genset. Care should be taken when locating the
installation point to ensure that the access friendly side of the genset be located within
easy reach of the operator.
