Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Engine room temperature and cooling

Yes Joel said it was connected to the 24 Volt alternator, but my owner manual says it is intentionally connected to my 12 volt alternator (I put a screen shot of that page). And yours is too apparently. Just curious, that’s it. I found a non working fan, which explain why my engine room is a little warmer, so I am happy. Will replace in 2 or 3 weeks. Thanks again!

Date: Thursday, April 28, 2016, 7:49 AM Alex, I am not sure, and I have a different engine and a later model SM. Possibly something has changed on your boat from how it was originally. Did you see Joel's posting that the 24VDC fans were connected to the 24VDC alternator? BTW, this probably has nothing to do with any of this, but it is possible to connect two 12VDC fans in series to 24VDC.

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).

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).
