Vetus ASV020A Louvered Air Suction Vent for Marine Engines up to 20 HP
The Vetus ASV020A is a louvered air suction vent designed for use in marine ventilation systems. It is intended to supply sufficient airflow to marine diesel engines, supporting both combustion air requirements and ventilation air for heat dissipation.
Product Description
This vent is manufactured with a polished anodised aluminium frame and naturally anodised aluminium grilles. The louvered design allows controlled air intake while maintaining structural durability. The model designation ASV020A corresponds to suitability for engines up to 20 horsepower.
Ventilation Function
Marine diesel engines require adequate airflow to operate correctly. The required volume of combustion air 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, an equivalent volume of ventilation air is required to dissipate radiated engine heat. The ASV020A vent supports these airflow requirements in marine installations.
