Good Bill,

More precisely, my question is why the 24 volt Fans are connected to a 12 Volt circuit? The manual confirms it: “both 24 V devices work intentionally on 12 V deliver by the main engine alternator”. http://nikimat.com/engine_room_fans/engine_room_fan_15.jpg To make sure it was the fan being defective, I started the Volvo and measured 13 volt (on the wires going to the fan). Thanks again! Sincerely, Alexandre -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 4/27/16, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@... [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...> wrote:

With a Volt Meter I checked current was going to it and it did: measured 13 Volt. It seems normal as the owner manual says so… Does someone know why this “24 Volt” FASCO 2807-513-122 --- 93004-2815 is connected to a 12 volt connection? Olivier? Joel? Bill? Anyone?

Date: Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 10:54 AM Good morning, May be I am a control freak, but when using the engine or genset I monitor the temperature of the engine compartment via a wireless temperature sensor. I rarely use the engine for more than an hour at the time (mostly to leave and come back to a marina), but in a few occasions had to motor for 10 or more hours. The temperature in the engine room, will gradually increase; when it reaches 47*C I open the engine hatch (sea condition permitting obviously) for 1/2 hour to cool it down to 45*C and so on. “My” reason to do this is because of component from the generator melting at 50*C. Note: the “suction” (intake) 24 Volt Jabsco 35440-0010 250 CFM Blower Fan is working (starts when engine is ON). Is there may be an air intake our outtake that could be partially blocked? Is there another fan I am forgetting about? Other note: when using the Generator, it rarely goes over 46*C after 2.5 hour use (its fan is also working).
