CHAPTER 9
MAINTENANCE OF ENGINE EXHAUST
9-1.
GENERAL.
The
engine
exhaust
(figure 9-1) provides the means for
exhaust gases to be discharged from the
generator set.
It consists of an
insulated exhaust duct and an exhaust
nozzle mounted in the exhaust fender of
the generator set.
The exhaust nozzle
is secured to the engine exhaust with a
clamp
and
extends
from the engine
exhaust to the lower entrance of the
exhaust
duct.
The
nozzle directs
exhaust gases from the engine into the
exhaust duct.
As the hot exhaust gas
passes from the nozzle into the exhaust
duct,
a vacuum is created that draws
cooler air from outside the generator
set through the oil cooler housing and
the exhaust fender louvers. The cooler
air mixes with the exhaust and lowers
the temperature.
The
exhaust
then
travels up the exhaust duct, out the
exhaust door,
and into the atmosphere.
The exhaust duct has two baffles and is
lined
with
sound/thermal
insulation
that lowers exhaust noise and reduces
exhaust fender temperatures.

(9), and exhaust duct liner (10) from
exhaust fender.
(4) Remove bolts (11), washers
(12),
lockwashers (13), and exhaust
duct end panel (14).
Remove sound/
thermal insulation (15).
(5) Remove bolts (16), washers
(17),
lockwashers (18), and exhaust
duct
inner side panel
(19).
Remove
sound/ thermal insulation (20).
(6) Remove bolts (21), washers
(22),
lockwashers (23), and exhaust
duct outer side panel (24).
Remove
sound/ thermal insulation (25).
(7) Remove bolts (26), washers
(27),
lockwashers
(28),
and
outer
exhaust baffle (29).
b.
Inspection and Repair.
(1) Inspect
exhaust
duct
for
damage.

as necessary.
(2) Inspect sound/thermal insula-
tion and replace if badly torn, com-
pacted, or otherwise damaged.
c.
Installation.
(1) Install outer exhaust
(29).
Secure with lockwashers
washers (27), and bolts (26).
baffle
(28),
