Absorbing silencers These silencers work according to the principle of absorbing sound with the aid of an absorbent lining inside the silencer. They usually provide silencing over a broad frequency range. They are generally of straight-through construction and only offer a marginally higher back pressure than a straight pipe of the same length. Expansion silencers (reactive) These silencers work according to the principle of reflecting and holding it inside the silencer. The silencer has internal baffle plates that divide it up into sections. A reactive silencer creates a relatively high pressure back to the middle of the gas flow, ie the baffles that redirect the flow. Volvo Penta HD silencers combine reactive and absorbing silencing. Silencer location Reactive silencers are located as close as possible to the exhaust manifold as possible (to impede sound from the manifold) or at the end of the system. There must only be a short end pipe ( ≈ 1 m) after the silencer if ...

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...

Read the safety information of   Volvo Power Generator  Engine below and the service manual section about this workshop manual and repair instructions carefully before repair and service work is begun. Immobilize the engine by turning off the power supply to the engine at the main switch and lock it in the off position before starting work. Post a warning notice at the main circuit breaker. As a rule, all service operations must be carried out with the engine stopped. However, some work, such as adjustments, will require the engine to be running. Approaching an engine which is running is a safety risk. Bear in mind that loose clothing or long hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause serious personal injury. Be aware of hot surfaces (exhaust pipes, turbos, charge air pipes, starting heaters etc.) and hot fluids in pipes and hoses on an engine that is running or has just stopped. If work is done adjacent to a running engine, a careless movement or a dropped t...
