A WET EXHAUST SYSTEM
A ‘dry’ exhaust system causes a tremendous amount of noise and diesel exhaust smell. A diesel engine can easily produce an exhaust
gas temperature of 1112°F (600°C) or more. However, reduction of exhaust gas temperature to about 104 or 122°F (40 or 50°C) can
be achieved by injecting the engine cooling water into the exhaust line. This is how a “wet” exhaust system works. In addition, the
typical diesel exhaust smell is also considerably reduced.
Depending on the overall system design, the exhaust gas may flow through one or more of:
• Exhaust hose
• A waterlock/muffler
• A gooseneck
• A transom connector
