Engine temperature
It is important that inlet temperature be kept as low as
possible bearing in mind that engine performance fig-
ures apply at a test temperature of +25 °C (+77 °F).
Temperature
≤ 25 °C (77 °F)
Full power
> 25 °C (77 °F)
Power loss approx. 1% per 10
°C
Inlet air temperature at the air filter may not be higher
than
25 °C
(77 °F) for full power to be achieved. During
sea trials the temperature in the air filter must not be
higher than
20 °C
(68 °F) above the outside tempera-
ture.
Engine surface temperature is rather high at certain
points. Certain individual engine components such as
charge regulators and relays must therefore be instal-
led on bulkheads or at other locations where the tem-
perature is relatively low.
Maximum temperature
at electrical component
installation locations is
70 °C
(158 °F). However, the
starter motor and alternator have their given locations.
Engine compartment pressure
Volvo Penta recommends that negative pressure in the
engine compartment not fall below 0.5 kPa (0.07 psi)
at full speed. A slight negative pressure in the engine
compartment is not harmful and it prevents gases from
being forced out of the engine compartment into other
boat spaces.
