Vetus ASV070A Louvered Air Suction Vent for Marine Engines up to 70 HP
The Vetus ASV070A is a louvered air suction vent developed for marine ventilation systems where reliable airflow is required for correct diesel engine operation. The vent is designed to supply both combustion air and ventilation air for effective 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 ASV070A corresponds to suitability for engines with a power rating of up to 70 horsepower. The louvered construction allows controlled air intake while maintaining durability 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 ASV070A vent supports these airflow requirements in marine installations.
