Vetus LGS5038 Gas Water Separator for Exhaust Systems
The Vetus LGS5038 is an essential addition for any modern vessel aiming for a whisper-quiet boating experience and safe exhaust gas discharge. This advanced gas water separator is specifically designed to separate the cooling water from the exhaust gases, thereby minimising the typical bubbling sound of the exhaust.
Why choose the Vetus LGS5038?
In standard wet exhaust systems, water and gas are discharged together, often causing noise and vibrations. The LGS5038 separates these flows. The water leaves the vessel below the waterline, while the dry gases are discharged above the waterline. This not only results in a significant noise reduction but also prevents the formation of black soot stains on the hull of the boat.
Key features and benefits
- Superior sound insulation: Minimises exhaust noise for greater comfort on board.
- Durable material: Made from high-quality plastics that are resistant to corrosion and high temperatures.
- Flexible installation: Thanks to the rotatable hose connections, installation in compact engine rooms is straightforward.
- Optimal safety: Prevents back pressure in the engine through efficient gas discharge.
