| Exhaust System Protection |
| Marine diesel exhaust systems are designed to
take temperatures of only 120°C. The exhaust
gasses, however, may reach more than 500°C.
To cool the gasses, the exhaust depends on a free
flow of cooling water from the engine. This flow
can be cut off by a plastic bag or seaweed being
sucked into the intake, or by a problem with the
water pump. The exhaust temperature will rise
immediately to around 450°C, the exhaust will
overheat and may be seriously damaged. In
most situations Exhaust Alert will warn you before
serious damage occurs. |
