There are no special require-
ments conceming the location
of the SKIT/S in the engine
room. It has only to be
considered that the mohno-
pump (14) has a maximum suc-
tion of 6mWC. Taking into
account the pressure drop in
the separator, the OWS may not
be installed more than 5m
above suction level. The recom-
mended diameter for the suc-
tion pipe of the separator is
mentioned in the technical data
sheet.
To protect the separator and
valves against dirt, a suitable
basket-filter (21), with a perfora-
tion of 1-2 mm has to be instal-
led in the suction pipe.
The oily water inlet is fitted with
a non-retum valve (1), which
prevents the system from emp-
tying. On the SKIT/S 0,1 – 2,5
the non-return valve is installed
inside the separator
In case of long suction lines or
large pipe diameters a non-
return valve with strainer (bot-
tom valve) (18), has to be instal-
led, to prevent the suction line
from emptying.
