GAS / WATER SEPARATOR

For marine engines and generator sets
The VETUS gas / water separator has a double function. It separates the injected raw cooling
water from the exhaust gases and also functions as a gooseneck. Particularly important for
generator sets, the separator reduces the exhaust noise and drains the cooling water below the
waterline, thus preventing the characteristic splashing sound.

EXHAUST TEMPERATURE ALARM
Safety first. Always place an alarm in the exhaust line!
A blockage in the engine water intake or a damaged pump impeller will result in a complete loss, or severe reduction in the volume
of cooling water in the exhaust system. In this case the temperature in the exhaust will rise much faster than the temperature of
the engine. VETUS always recommends placing an exhaust temperature alarm that provides a visual and audible alarm when the
temperature inside the exhaust hose or the muffler exceeds an acceptable level.
Specifications
• Alarm cut-out dimension Ø 2 /16” (52 mm), overall diameter 2 /16” (62 mm)

• Build-in depth 1 /16” (40 mm) XHSM XHSH
• Suitable for 12 or 24 Volt D.C.
• Use sensor XHSM in VETUS waterlocks that have a pre-installed connection
• Use sensor type XHSH for fitting in the exhaust hose
Note
The temperature sensors and the alarm unit must be ordered separately.
In case of a twin engine installation, 2 sensors can be connected to 1 alarm unit.
