Exhaust temperature sensor
(Preview)
I recently did a delivery, where the diesel gen set was shut down by an exhaust temperature sensor, when the impeller failed. This prevented any damage to the gen set's engine and it's systems. I was impressed by this, and started to research a system for my Beta 50. I found a suitable temperarure senso...

Consumption of zinc in heat exchanger
(Preview)
Our zinc disappeared totally in a year. 7 months of that was with boat in storage in a cold climate, which I would have expected to slow corrosive reactions.

Pressure buildup in ZF transmission on Beta 60
(Preview)
Whenever we remove the filler to check the oil level in the transmission, there is a hiss. I think it is air escaping. No difference whether the engine is warm or cold. It happened when the engine was new form the factory, and every time since We tried changing the shiny wobbly vent, but this made no dif...

Question on overflow of cooling water
(Preview)
If the engine (mine Beta 60) overheats, where does the hot water/steam go? Looking at the Beta drawing 100 056421 of the header tank, it seems that it will just blast out round the cap. There is what looks like an overflow connection, but it is capped in the drawing. On cars, any overflow goes in a small...
