Vetus ASV150A Louvered Air Suction Vent for Marine Engines up to 150 HP
The Vetus ASV150A is a louvered air suction vent designed for marine ventilation systems where high airflow capacity is required for correct diesel engine operation. The vent supports both combustion air intake 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 ASV150A corresponds to suitability for engines with a power rating of up to 150 horsepower. The louvered construction allows controlled air intake while maintaining structural 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 ASV150A vent is designed to support these airflow requirements in marine installations.
