PVC Exhaust

Exactly. Ive mentioned that but its like talking to a monkeys tea party.

I dont think many know about bigger boats with big inboard deisels,

-------- but they still wanna tell you about it !!!!!.


For your info there are alarms and lights for sea water cooling . Fresh water loss. water in fuel , overheat. oil pressure, batt charge failure errr maybe more.

10 alarms per engine so if I get a heat problem I will know about it in seconds and not after I wake up all dead and stiff.

When you cold start these engines there are alarms screaming in your face until the engine gets up and running with water flow and oil pressure.

And they do a self check before start .

By the way exhaust is ejected into a water cooled manifold, then into a turbo that is marine, so it is cooled, then it goes int a mixer elbow --guess what, its is water cooled too, and then water is injected into the exhaust gases.


As Van said about his boat he is seeing 67 degrees when he is leaning on it. That is way below the melting point of PVC pipe 140 as published by members of this board.

Only a bigot could not work out that the temp is insufficient to melt the PVC, and there are no bigots round here --is there? Oh no no no.

 

What would you call the guy who can't figure out one person is talking Celsius and the other Fahrenheit?

67 C is 152.6 F.

And Frosty replies...

 

Im not an American.

 

JeJeJeJe

Oh and Frosty.

Just because your sensor self test says OK doesnt mean that the sensor actually works. It only tells you that the electric system is OK and that the sensors are in their correct NO NC position.

Concerning sensors...I see steam coming from my exhaust long before the sensor has fired off to warn me that a jellyfish has stuck its head into the sea strainer and the engine is running hot.

Perhaps in addition to your sensor system you can fit a REAR VIEW mirror at the helmstation so that you can constantly monitor the Exhaust, with your finger on the STOP button....just in case.

 

You're not so good at reading either.

 

The only difference F, is I have a dedicated exhaust cold water feed,and am in 10-15C waters at the best of times so I imagine if I was in troppo areas it would be warmer.
What it would be after cooling the engine etc I'm also not sure of.

I have about the same amount of alarms. I even monitor the ocean temp!
Have spy cams/infrared cams and microphones mounted in the engine room,and all over the place.

Is it latent enthropy or enthalpy or vaporization or something?
Don't need much cool water to effect great drops in temperatures of hot air.

Those water misters using 9-10 litres an hour will cool a surprising area on a stinking hot day.


edit:

FYI my temperature gauges will tell me that AND I don't have to tray and look around.

 

What can is say,--they dont melt, they dont do anything but exhaust.

How can I say anything else --melt they do not ---melt --Ohh no, not at all.

Yes the sea im in now is 30 degrees --not sure if thats C or F !!!! maybe inches.

No sorry its 30.4C

 

I think PVC exhaust works, but I wouldn't want to try it, it just seems un necessary unless you have a race boat.

 

I had fitted PVC before (I have mentioned this) so I slapt them on in Aus to get the boat in the water and out before GST got me. They worked ok

When I got her put back over the side of the ship into the sea in Singapore I ran them up again keeping a close watch,--nothing. I drove the boat hard to Pulau Pangkor and then re fuelled with a ton then on to Langkawi and the phuket. ---I began to stop worrying --would'nt you?

Strange --lots of laughter at the boat yard where I fitted them too must have been American.

Did I tell you about the hooker dive system I made from a fish pump? That raises eyebrows too and oh no no no that wont work I made that 15 years ago and I might use that this afternoon in this 3o.4 degree sea.

If it was'nt for people like me you would all still be living in a cave. I suggest you give up reading books and think for yourself ,, they are written by bigots

 

I just burned every book I own.




( no books here lol)

 

I remember making that fish pump breather. I sat at the bottom of a freinds swimming pool with my welders oxygen bottle reducing pressure still I could just breath.

Your going to die --you cant do that --your mad - you will get carbon poisoning etc etc bla bla bla.

Now they want to buy one of me.

 

Pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hang on ille go get it out of the cupboard. Wont use it today anyway the sea is not clear with massive tides at the moment.

 

Here we go save the im going to die or drown crap Ive heard it for 15 years. I go down for an hour or more so the missus says. Only to 1.5 meter after that you sucking at it.

12V diaphragm pump for fish tank airiation. More uses for PVC pipe you didnt know about,-- an accumulator tank to take out the umpulses

 

I have one of those-commercially built though. Can go down to 25-30'.
Must be an oil less diaphragm pump.
