Vetus SSVL030 Louvered Air Suction Vent for Marine Engines up to 30 HP
The Vetus SSVL030 is a stainless steel louvered air suction vent developed for marine ventilation systems. It is designed to supply sufficient airflow for marine diesel engines, supporting both combustion air requirements and ventilation air needed for heat dissipation.
Product Description
This vent features a polished stainless steel frame with integrated louvered grilles. The construction is intended for use in marine environments where durability and corrosion resistance are required. The model designation SSVL030 corresponds to suitability for engines up to 30 horsepower.
Ventilation Function
A marine diesel engine requires adequate airflow to operate correctly. The volume of combustion air required is approximately 6.1 m³ per kW (4.5 m³ per hp) per hour, based on a maximum air velocity of 3 m/sec. In addition to combustion air, a similar volume of ventilation air is required to dissipate radiated engine heat. The SSVL030 vent is designed to support these airflow requirements.
