Vetus ASV030A Louvered Air Suction Vent for Marine Engines up to 30 HP
The Vetus ASV030A is a louvered air suction vent developed for marine ventilation systems where reliable airflow is required for correct diesel engine operation. The vent supports both combustion air intake and ventilation air for the dissipation of radiated engine heat.
Product Description
This vent is manufactured with a polished anodised aluminium frame and naturally anodised aluminium grilles. The model designation ASV030A corresponds to suitability for engines with a power rating of up to 30 horsepower. The louvered construction enables controlled air intake while maintaining structural integrity in marine environments.
Ventilation Function
A marine diesel engine requires sufficient air to function 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 ASV030A vent is designed to support these airflow requirements.
