General description.

(A) FA/1 the fresh air unit

Routing of the intake-air:

Air is being drawn in, via the gaps around the ceiling located on the starboard side of the bridge
deck, above the life rafts. The air is then routed via suction grids located above the ceiling and
then directed via the insulated structure on the sundeck.

Suction grid above ceiling (four times) Insulated intake ducting Water trap below FA/1 unit

The grids are accessible by removing the two starboard hatches on the sundeck. The air is then
routed through a mist-eliminator and a fire-valve and then via steel ducting to the FA/1 unit.

The fire-valve is connected directly to the mist-eliminator and can be reached through the star-
board hatch most forward on the sundeck. The mist eliminator drains into a scupper pipe
located at the sundeck

The incoming air is filtered two times. The first time through a wide-mesh filter and then through
a very fine-mesh filter (HEPA).

Drain water from the FA/1 unit is expelled via four pipes and accumulated above the ceiling of
the shower situated in the captain’s cabin. A water trap is installed to prevent build-up of excess
water due to under-pressure from the FA/1unit. A small vent-hose is later added to the pipe to
prevent the pipe from making a noise when it’s emptying itself

(B) E-1 serving fore ship

The exhaust unit E-1 is located at the port side of the FA/1 unit, and is accessible through the
port forward hatch located at the sundeck. Steel ducting (the manifold) is connected to the unit
and exhaust pipes are connected to the manifold.

The airflow from the E-1 exhaust unit is routed via a resonance-damper, a fire valve and is then
expelled through the grid located on the port side of the bridge-deck above the life rafts.

The fire-valve of the E-1 unit is located at the exhaust side of the unit, close to the unit.

4
(C) E-2 serving aft ship

The exhaust fan serving the aft ship is located on the sun deck below the BBQ grill and extracts
waste air from the cabins in the aft ship. The waste air is routed through steel ducting via a fire-
valve and resonance damper and is then expelled through the grids on port side of the bridge
deck, situated over the life rafts.

Fire valve with Mode5 actuator Exhaust ducting E2 unit

(D) E-3 serving galley

The exhaust fan serving the galley is located on the port side of the ship, on bridge deck level.
The access hatch is situated behind the life rafts on port side. To enter the hatch, the life raft
most forward must be tilted outwards to make the hatch accessible.

The fan draws air via steel ducting from the galley hood and is then blown into a plenum box.
Flexible hoses are connected from the fan to the plenum and from the plenum to the outside
cover plate. The cover plate has four holes which expel the waste air.

The flex hoses are easy to replace and should be checked at regular intervals to prevent excess
grease building up. Make sure the end of the hoses, connected to the exhaust cover-plate, are
sprayed with black paint to camouflage the hoses which are visible from the outside.

Balance air (B-3) is routed from the suction grid in front of the wheelhouse, on port side, to the
galley hood via a fire valve, which is electrically operated. During normal operation the fire-valve
is always open.

Caution-1: Never spray water directly into the balance air duct !

The balance air fire-valve is accessible by removing the ceiling panel over the portside aft-mirror
inside the gym. The ceiling panels are attached by “fast-mounts”

Remove ceiling-light(s) and pull the ceiling-panel downwards to unlock the ceiling panel.

Caution-2: removal of ceiling panels should always be done by two persons!

5
 Galley exhaust plenum and fan Plenum connected to exhaust cover-plate

Galley hood

The galley hood has two functions; extracting waste air from cookers and supply of fresh air
(balance air) to the galley. The balance air duct is visible inside the hood. Supply air is delivered
to the galley from the balance duct through the perforated plate, thus creating airflow in front of
the hood.

The fire-valve protecting the incoming airflow is mounted directly to the back of the hood. The
balance air opening on port side of the Spanish-bridge has no drains!! It is therefore important
to keep the balance air duct free from water. A guard is mounted to prevent water from entering
the balance air duct.

Located at the port side of the galley hood, directly connected to the hood is the exhaust fire-
valve. During normal operation the fire-valve is always open.

The exhaust fire-valve is accessible via a ceiling panel located at the port side aft corner of the
gym.

(E) E-4 exhaust units serving garage/lazarette/steering room

Garage

The exhaust unit serving the garage is located at the starboard side of the garage and is
attached to the ceiling. The unit comprises of an explosive resistant fan (ERM 25-ex) and a
combined plenum and extraction grill. The complete unit is easy to remove by removing the pipe
and unscrewing the six attachment bolts.

A pipe is connected to the plenum and draws air via two pipes from floor level, to prevent
buildup of explosive fumes. A HALTON-valve controls the airflow from the wall-mounted air
pipes.

Above the ceiling panel, where the exhaust pipe runs through, a difference pressure-switch is
mounted. (Siemens QBM81)The switch guards the airflow of the fan, and gives an alarm when
the fan stops running. Waste-air is expelled via a grid opposite of the intake grid.

6
 Balance-air is being drawn in via a grid on the aft starboard outboard side of the main deck, on
top of the stairs which lead to the swim-platform.

The air is then routed via an electrically operated fire-valve with BELIMO-actuator.

The garage-intake is located at the starboard side of the garage and is located just above the
boilers. The fire-valve is covered by a stainless-steel cover plate and grid, which can be easily
removed for servicing/cleaning purposes.

Lazarette

The lazarette is ventilated by a small fan (RS100L). Air is drawn from a grid on the outboard
side of the port aft main deck, on top of the stairs which lead to the swim-platform.

The grid opposite of this grid is used to expel the waste-air. The diving-compressor also takes
air from the air-pipe which supplies the lazarette !!

The fan and fire-valve are accessible by pulling down the middle ceiling panel using suction-
pads. The panels are attaches with “fast-mounts”

Caution: removal of ceiling panels should always be done by two persons!

Steering room

The steering room is ventilated by a small fan (RS100L) which is located on the starboard side
of the steering room, in the corner next to the expansion boilers. Recirculation-air is drawn from
the lazarette and is expelled into the garage.

All fire-valves, mounted in the garage, lazarette and steering room, except the one which
supplies the garage, are manually operated!!

When temperatures exceed 72 C. the valves will close!!

(F) E-5/6/7 serving laundry

Above the dryers in the laundry, behind the hatch, are 3 booster-fans (RS160L) mounted. The
fans boost the air, coming from the dryers, into the piping which lead to the exhaust-grid,
located at the starboard side on the bridge deck, directly aft of the life-rafts.

The fan-area above the dryers is equipped with an additional fire-detector, to prevent a fire
above the ceiling from being undetected!

7
 Connected to the booster-fans are 3 additional filter-units mounted, which prevent clogging of
the fans and dust entering the piping system. The dryers are connected to the filters by flexible
hoses.

An electrically operated fire-valve (BELIMO) at the exhaust-duct controls all three pipes at the
same time. During normal operations the fire-valve is always open. A steel duct which bends
downwards directs the airflow and prevents water from entering the pipes. The inside of the
exhaust-area, just behind the outside grid is painted black to hide the duct and surroundings.

The BELIMO-actuator is accessible via a small hatch located behind the starboard forward life-
raft.The hatch can be opened by using an Allen-key. Lower the forward life raft to gain access to
the hatch.

(G) E-8 exhaust-fan serving fore peak

The exhaust fan (RS125L) serving the forepeak in located directly below the starboard side of
the hatch to the fore peak. Air is drawn from the port side of the fore-deck directly aft of the
boulders (B-8). The air is then routed via a plenum and a mechanically operated fire-valve, into
the fore-peak. The exhaust fan serving the bow-thruster area is mounted next to it.

Caution: Switch of the fans when the intake and exhaust hatches are closed, to prevent
overheating of the fans.

(H) N/A

(I) E-10 exhaust fan serving high-fog room and batteries

The exhaust fan (RS100L) serving the high-fog room and batteries is located below the crew
floor, just forward of the bulkhead to the Guest-cabins. The fan can be reached by passing the
freezers on starboard side, below crew cabins. The fan draws air from starboard-side main deck
above the ceiling between support beams 47 and 48.

Air is drawn in via a mechanically operated fire-valve, positioned next to the freezer. The
exhaust is on port side main deck also between beams 47 and 48 above ceiling.

(I2) Exhaust-fan serving crew-kitchenette

The exhaust fan serving the crew kitchenette is located behind the exhaust-ducting of the E-1
exhaust unit and is automatically switched on when using the kitchenette exhaust hood over the
cooking plates. The exhaust pipe above crew area ceiling, is made of 3mm welded steel pipe up
to the fire-valve and from thereon with SPIRO-piping.

8
 The fire-valve of the crew kitchenette is located behind a small panel which is located at the
staircase leading to the crew quarters. The fire-valve is manually operated.

Caution: Use a magnet and hold it over the safety-symbol to unlock the hatch!

The fan acts as a booster-fan and supports the fan located in the hood of the kitchenette. The
waste-air is expelled through the grid located on port side above the life rafts.

(J) Exhaust unit E/12 serving bow thruster room

The exhaust fan serving the bow-thruster room is located directly next to the hatch leading to
the fore peak. The fan is located adjacent to the fore-peak exhaust fan. Air is drawn from the
port side of the fore-deck directly aft of the boulders (B-8).

The air is then routed via a mechanically operated fire-valve, into the bow-thruster room. The
exhaust fan serving the fore-peak is mounted next to it.

Fire-valves serving the forepeak and bow-thruster room are mechanically operated.

(K) Exhaust fan E/13 serving emergency batteries

The exhaust fan serving the emergency batteries is located directly behind the stainless-steel
exhaust cover on the Spanish-bridge. The fan is running constantly and cannot be switched off.

Some batteries have to be removed to gain access to the fan. The fan is a simple type which is
used to cool computers and electronic equipment. If necessary the fan can be replaced by any
make fan of same construction and quality.

(K1) Exhaust fan serving technical space aquarium

The exhaust fan serving the technical space of the aquarium is located above the ceiling and is
mounted to the superstructure just above the door. The fan is a simple type which is used to
cool computers and electronic equipment. The fan is running constantly.

To prevent noise and vibrations the fan is mounted in and against rubber. If necessary the fan
can be replaced by any make fan of same construction and quality. Balance air is drawn from a
grid mounted next to the exhaust fan.

(L) Fancoils and access panels (see chapter 3)

Fancoils must be serviced at regular intervals to prevent filters from clogging. P/A 30% filter-
clogging reduces the airflow by 60%!

9
 Caution-1: Remove access panels with great care to prevent damage to the interior.

(L1) Dashboard equipment cooling and venting

The equipment mounted in and below the dashboard is cooled by a fan coil, located in the
cabinet starboard of the Centre-line, below the dashboard. The dashboard temperature
controller is mounted inside the cabinet behind the fan coil.

Additional heat is drawn from the dashboard by a vent-pipe, protruding from the floor behind the
dashboard on port-side.

(L2) Window demisting wheelhouse

The window demisting installation is located at the starboard side of the dashboard, below the
leather covered plate adjacent to the sofa. The unit consists of a fan, a heater unit and Spiro-
ducting. Flexible hoses connect the Spiro-pipes to the exhaust slots.

The fan and the heater start-up simultaneously and expel air via slots, located below the
windows. The temperature can be manually adjusted with a turning knob attached to the heater.

Fan (bottom) mounted to heater unit

(L3) Ventilation bar at sundeck

The two halves of the bar at the sundeck are both being ventilated with a RS100L fan. Air is
drawn in, through grids located on the starboard under-side of the bar, and expelled through
grids located on the port side of the bar. The top side of the bar is used as a plenum box.

The fan is temperature controlled, and expels excess heat generated by the coolers and LED-
drivers. The fan at the aft part of the bar is also used to cool the equipment of the Jacuzzi.

10
 Cooling fan mounted in dampers Temperature sensor inside bar

(L4) Day head (outside) ventilation

The outside day head is ventilated by a hose connected to the interior of the salon. The airflow
is insufficient to cool or heat the day head properly! Waste air is drawn out, by the E-2 unit, via a
flexible hose and Spiro-ducting. The flexible hoses to and from the day head are situated above
the ceiling in front of the door leading to the port gangway.

(L5) Bilge ventilation

Ventilation of fumes/odor from the bilge below the VIP- and guest cabins and the state room is
achieved by installing an additional vent pipe to the exhaust pipes of the applicable rooms.

The bilge vent-pipe which vents the bilge below the state room is situated in the state room
corridor cabinet. The bilge vent for the VIP rooms and guest cabins is situated above the ceiling
in the port aft VIP cabin.

(M) Access to mast (steam light) aft of FA/1 unit

The cables drums of the steam light mast are difficult to reach. Easy access is only possible by
removing several pipes of the fresh-air (FA/1) and exhaust (E/1) units. The drums are yellow
and easy to spot. Be very careful not to damage the pipes and flexible hoses when servicing the
cable drums, mast or parts of the mast!

The bottom of the mast-holder has a cover which can be removed to clean the bottom of the
mast-holder or to clean the drainpipe. The cover plate can be easily removed.

11
 Port-side cable drum Starboard-side cable drum

The drainpipe is accessible via the big service- hatch located in the corridor from crew to
staircase area. Use magnets in the top-corners to unlock the hatch. Use suction-pad to hold the
hatch. Removing the hatch should be done by two persons.

Note: Pressure-switches and shut-off valves of the high-fog installation are also
located behind the service-hatch!!

Limit-switches, which control the up and down motion of the steam light mast are located in the
recess on the outboard side of the mast holder.

Caution: Do not damage pipes and/or hoses, when removing ducting or otherwise
gaining access to the cable-drums!!

(N) Spare parts list and storage of spare parts

All spare parts necessary for normal operations are stored next or nearby the FA/1 unit, located
behind the most forward starboard hatch on the sundeck. A spare parts list is added to this
manual. Always keep sufficient spare parts in stock!

(O) Principal drawing

A principal drawing is added to this manual.

(P) Sewage-tank ventilation, interface-ventilation and carbon filter units

All interfaces and the sewage tank no.11 are connected via vent-pipes which finally lead to the
sundeck aft of the FA/1 unit. An automatic ventilation-unit (breather) is located aft of the FA/1
unit. Automatic breather-units are also installed in vent-piping nearby the interfaces.

The automatic breathers prevent pumping of air from the sewage tank no.11 and prevent tank-
air from entering the living-area and emptying of siphons when interfaces are being emptied by
the HAMANN-system.

12
Sludge-tank no. 12 is vented by piping which also leads up to the sundeck. The sludge tank air
is filtered through a carbon-filter, situated below the port-side bar on the sundeck. The filter unit
is a simple stainless steel cassette- type filter, filled with filter cloth and carbon-pellets. Any type
of active carbon will do the job as long as the pellets are not too small. There are spare pellets
on board.

The venting system also works without filtering of waste air, because of the high outlet in the
mast. The filter system is additional. (Just in case)

Diesel tank vent pipes also lead to the sundeck. The diesel fumes are led through a carbon-filter
next to the sludge-tank filter. From the filter-unit a pipe leads to the mast where the fumes are
discarded through a flame-stopper. Both filters use the same type of carbon and are of same
construction.

Note; Replace carbon pellets, only, when fumes are noticeable on the sundeck.

Servicing

(A) The fresh-air unit

1-Check the filters inside the FA/1 unit at a regular interval. But at least twice a month or as oft
as necessary when there is reason to do so. Clean filter-housing and unit from debris and
(dead) insects. Check the bug trap cloth (scotch-brite), glued to the ceiling edges above the life-
rafts at starboard side at a regular interval. This is the first filter inside the system and should be
kept clean to prevent clogging.

2-Make sure when replacing the filter-cloth inside the FA/1 unit, that there are no gaps between
the filter and the filter-casing, and all seals are intact. Replace the Hepa-filter cassette at regular
intervals and order new ones in time!

Filters polluted by exhaust fumes of generators HEPA-filters polluted

3-Check the fan-belts for wear and looseness and tighten when necessary. Do not over tighten
the fan-belts. Replace the fan-belts when there are signs of wear and damage. Also check the
fan-bearings for wear and the fan for cleanliness. Never damage the fan, as damage results in
imbalance and vibrations. (A spare fan-belt (2x) is kept close to the unit.)

WARNING: Switch-off the unit when entering the fan-compartment!!

The fan is accessible via a hatch on the port-side of the FA/1 unit, using an Allen-key No.4

4-Check the inlet-ducting, behind the two hatches on the starboard side of the sundeck, at
regular intervals for cleanliness and debris and clean when necessary.

Caution: Do not use the duct for storage purposes to avoid blockage of airflow and
damaging the insulation.

Caution: Damaged and/or clogged filters cause pollution to enter the ship, resulting in
polluted hoses, fan coil boxes and interior of the ship. Make sure filters are
replaced in time!!

14
 Adjusting the fan speed;

When under normal operations the fan-speed is set at a fixed frequency. Only when absolutely
necessary the speed can be adjusted up to maximum 60Hz.

This should only be done when normal operation-speed does not meet the requirements! (After
an accident on the boat, causing very heavy air-pollution) Contact Heinen&Hopman for further
information!!

Caution: Always check the applicable units first and ensure there is nothing wrong with
the system before altering system-settings!

Caution: When filters become clogged, (or when additional filters are added) the FA/1
unit will have difficulty to draw air in, thus increasing delta P. When delta P gets
too high, the unit will stop working > Check filters!

The unit can be trimmed down to 25/30Hz when there are hardly any persons on board for a
prolonged period. This is to save energy, wear and filter pollution.

The exhaust units E-1 and E-2 are automatically adjusted accordingly to the FA/1 fan-speed, to
keep the system balanced.

Select high/low on the main control-box, to adjust the fan speed. Further action is not
necessary!

Caution; The settings of the units (FA/1, E-1 and E-2) and the settings of the HALTON
flow regulators are carefully balanced.

NEVER change settings on the frequency controllers or HALTON-valves,

without consulting H&H or the appropriate technician!!

(B) Exhaust unit E/1 serving fore ship.

1-Check the ventilation unit. Check the fan-belt at regular intervals, but at least monthly. Check
for looseness and wear and tighten or replace when damaged or worn. Never over-tighten the
fan-belt.

2-Check the extractor-fan for cleanliness. If necessary clean the fan by using a degreaser-spray
and a soft painters brush. Never damage the fan-blades, as damage may result in unbalance
and noise. Do not remove or shift balance weights mounted to the fan. Also check the fan-
bearings for wear

WARNING; Switch-off the unit when entering the fan-compartment!!

Caution; Re-tighten new fan belts after four weeks, to eliminate excessive wear and
vibrations

15
(C) Exhaust unit E/2 serving aft ship

1-Check the fan-belt at regular intervals, but at least monthly. Check for looseness and wear
and tighten or replace when damaged or worn. Never over-tighten the fan-belt.

2-Check the extractor-fan for cleanliness. If necessary clean the fan by using a degreaser-spray
and a soft painters brush.

Never damage the fan-blades, as damage may result in unbalance and noise. Do not remove or
shift balance weights mounted to the fan. Also check the fan-bearings for wear

WARNING; Switch-off the unit when entering the fan-compartment!!

Caution; Re-tighten new fan belts after four weeks, to eliminate excessive wear and
vibrations

(D) Exhaust unit E/3 serving galley

The exhaust-fan is directly driven and has no fan-belt.

1-Check the fan housing at a regular interval, (preferably twice a year) for excess buildup of
grease. Clean when necessary, using degreaser and a soft painters brush. Never damage the
fan-blades. Improper handling may result in unbalance and noise. Do not remove or shift
balance weights mounted to the fanblades.

2-Check intake-ducting and exhaust-plenum for excess buildup of grease by using a torch-light.
Clean when necessary. The complete fan-unit is easy to remove by disconnecting the flex-
ducting (four M6 bolts) and unscrewing the four attachment-bolts.

The fan can be reached by tilting the forward life-raft on port-side, outwards. Then open the
hatch located behind the raft.

The galley is NOT connected to the general ventilation system. This is not allowed and a
measure to prevent galley-fire to enter the rest of the ship. Check the two fire-valves when there
is insufficient airflow through the galley.

Valves should always be open to ensure sufficient airflow through the galley. When outside
temperatures are very low, the balance-air duct can be closed to reduce draft.

WARNING: 1-Excess buildup of grease can be dangerous in case of galley-fire!

2-Always trip the circuit-breaker when servicing the unit!

16
(E) Exhaust unit E/4 serving garage/lazarette/steering room

1-Clean the grid by using vacuum-cleaner and soft brush. The exhaust unit of the garage is
easy accessible and easy to clean.

2-When the plenum-box is heavily polluted: loosen the pipe-ducting slightly and remove grid.
Clean inside of plenum-box and retighten ducting and grid.

When the pressure difference switch gives alarm, always trip and reset the appropriate circuit
breaker first, to reset the system (if necessary several times) before removing the panels
surrounding the exhaust pipe. Check tubing to and from switch, before changing settings of the
switch or replacing the switch.

The fans serving lazarette and steering room don’t require servicing (source H&H) but keep
ducting and grids clean and free from corrosion.

3-Clean outside grids by opening them and wash or rinse to remove salt which builds up behind
the grid. Clean suction plenum by flushing with water.

Caution: Do not spray water directly into pipes or air-ducts

(F) Exhaust units E/5/6/7 serving laundry

It is important to clean the dryer-filters after every use of the dryer. The filters of the booster-
fans should also be kept as clean as possible!

The booster filters are located behind the large hatch located over the dryers. Use small
foldable stairs to reach the filters. The filters are marked with RED tape. Clean the filters using a
vacuum-cleaner.

View inside hatch located above the dryers

The dryers stop working (error-code ..) when there is too much back-pressure. An indication
that filters must be cleaned! When all machines give the same error, then there could be
something wrong with the fire-valve

When the dryer(s) are switched: OFF, the applicable booster-fan(s) keeps running for a while to
vent residual heat and to prevent access build-up of moist inside the exhaust pipes.

17
 When there is reason to question the capacity of the fans, check the ducting for build-up of dust
and/or cloth and check the fan-blades for cleanliness. The flex-ducting is relatively easy to
remove and the complete unit can be removed by unscrewing the bracket-bolts, which support
the unit. The casing of the hatch can be removed by unscrewing the red marked screws thus
creating enough space to service easily.

Caution: First check the fire-valve when there is insufficient air-flow. The valve should
always be open!! When necessary open valve manually!!

Warning: When fire-valves are opened manually (and locked), there is no fire-protection.
Replace any defective actuator immediately!

Tilt the starboard forward life-raft outboard to gain access to the small hatch which gives access
to the fire-valve. Use an Allen-key to open hatch. A special actuator-key is attached to the
power cable and can be used to open (and lock) the valve manually.

Caution:

One large fire-valve controls all three outlets Exhaust duct and temperature sensor

(G) Exhaust unit E/8 serving forepeak

1-Check the fan-operation at regular intervals by simply checking the air-flow at the starboard
outlet grid. There should clearly be sufficient airflow. As the airflow exceeds the design
specifics, some loss of flow (over the years), is acceptable.

Shut off the fans when the in- and outlet grids are closed, to prevent overheating of the fans.

Caution: When entering the fore peak care should be taken not to damage the piping.
The SPIRO-ducting should not be used to tie goods to.

2-Open the suction- and exhaust grids when washing the boat or when hosing down with fresh
water. The angle of the grids and the type of seal used are reason for excess build-up of salt
behind the grids, so causing corrosion to the hinges.

Caution: Do not spray water directly into vent-pipes

18
 Forepeak and bow thruster-room ventilators and fire valves

(H) Exhaust unit E/9 >> N/A

(I) Exhaust unit E/10/11 (combined) serving high-fog room and batteries forepeak

1-Check the fan-operation at regular intervals, by simply checking the air-flow at the port inlets
below the crew floor over the batteries. There should clearly be sufficient airflow. As the airflow
exceeds the design specifics, some loss of flow (over the years), is acceptable.

2-Check cleanliness of the appropriate inlet and outlet ducting. (yearly)

In- and outlet ports of the vent-pipes are located on starboard and port-side above the ceiling on
the main-deck, between support beams 47 and 48.

The ceiling edge is not equipped with a bug-trap. This is to prevent clogging and to increase the
airflow, due to the small circumferential area of the ceiling panels. Ceiling panels must be
removed to gain access to the inlet and outlet. Best is to check the inlet and outlet when a LED-
light must be replaced or otherwise ceiling panels are removed for service purposes.

(I2) Exhaust fan serving crew kitchenette

1-Keep the kitchenette-hood clean and free from build-up of access grease. A non-return valve
inside the hood prevents backflow of air. The hood has a build-in fan. The hood is protected
from fire by several layers of fire-resistant material.

The first five meters of piping from the galley-hood is made of 3mm thick steel piping. At the end
of this pipe a mechanically operated fire-valve is mounted. The access-hatch to the fire-valve is
situated in the staircase leading to the crew area. This small hatch can be opened by holding a
magnet over the safety symbol, glued to the hatch.

Located at the sundeck, behind the E-1 outlet-ducting is the kitchenette booster-fan, which
assists the build in fan to overcome the length of the pipes used.

When the system is kept clean the booster-fan will operate for many years without servicing.
When in doubt if the system is clean: remove fan-ducting partially and check for cleanliness.

19
(J) Exhaust unit E/12 serving bow thruster room

1-Check the fan-operation at regular intervals by simply checking the airflow at the starboard
outlet grid. There should clearly be sufficient airflow. As the airflow exceeds the design
specifics, some loss of flow (over the years), is acceptable.

Shut off the fans when the in- and outlet grids are closed, to prevent overheating of the fans.

Caution: When entering the fore peak care should be taken not to damage the piping.
The SPIRO-ducting should not be used to tie goods to.

2-Open the inlet- and exhaust grids when washing the boat or when hosing down with fresh
water. The angle of the grids and the type of seal used are reason for excess build-up of salt
behind the grids, so causing corrosion to the hinges.

Caution: Do not spray water directly into pipes or ducting.

(K) Exhaust fan serving emergency batteries

1-Check if there is air flowing from the stainless-steel cover plate at the Spanish bridge.
Replace the fan when there is insufficient airflow or when the fan starts making noise, due to
wear of bearings. The fan installed, is a simple type fan, as used in computers etc.

Installing a new fan requires removal of several batteries. The fan cannot be switched of, and is
powered by the batteries

(K1) Exhaust fan serving technical space aquarium

1-Check if there is sufficient airflow. Replace the fan when there is loss of airflow or when the
fan starts making noise, due to wear of bearings. The fan installed, is a simple type fan, as used
in computers etc.

The fan can be reached by removing a ceiling panel inside the technical space.

(L) Fan coils and access panels

1-Clean the filter cloth in front of the cooling block at regular intervals using a vacuum cleaner.
Never damage the cooling block. Never discard the filter as the cooling grid gets blocked with
dust. ! Check the fan coil box for cleanliness.

2-Clean suction grids and ducting from dust and debris. Check the feed hoses for leakage and
the drains for leakage and damage.

Engineer and contacts

I hope this manual is short, yet as complete as possible. The purpose of this manual is to provide the
user with a simple description of the system. For more detailed information check the manuals delivered
by Heinen&Hopman. A copy of this manual will also be supplied on USB-stick, including more photos
from the build.

All original design drawings of ducting, fire-valves etc. are kept at ACICO-yachts. When ducting gets
damaged or unforeseen problems occur, please contact the yard for further information.

Servicing

Servicing should be registered on a service data sheet. Service intervals should be regular and
problems occurring should be registered on the sheet, thus providing the crew with a minimum required
maintenance standard and service history. The ships engineer is responsible for adequate servicing.
Service-data registration should be done according the wishes of the ships engineer. An example of a
service date sheet is included with this manual.

With best regards,
