The ventilation system of the engine room allows the necessary air recirculation for the operation of the propulsion systems and of the machinery installed on your yacht, so as to keep a safe temperature inside the engine room.
The ventilation system consists of two lateral air intakes equipped with shutters and located along the two bulwarks of the engine room; they allow the penetration of air inside the room separating the suspended sea water, and of two air intakes equipped with extractors and shutters withdrawing the inside air and conveying it outside.
While the engines are running, the extractors must always be activated. It is suggested to keep them on for at least 30 minutes, after anchoring, to eliminate the residual heat.
Do not lay tools or clothing on the extractors or on the air intakes.
POISONING BY CARBON MONOXIDE
This is a colourless and odourless gas and extremely toxic.
Therefore, it is necessary an adequate ventilation yacht when they are switched on the engines or the generator, especially during navigation at low speed or under conditions in which the fumes may fall towards the hull (such as when it is moored at the wharf, or anchored at anchor).
It is strictly forbidden to insert your hands or tools inside the fan when operating or when electrically connected. Before starting the fan, make sure that this one is protected against tampering, in compliance with the laws in force.
