When installed on boats, one is installed facing
forward (for intake) and the other is installed
facing rearward (for exhaust) to vent any fumes
from the engine room. while the boat is in motion.

Engine room blowers (to prevent explosions of fuel
fumes) take air from the intakes and push the fumes
to the exhaust outlet.

The operator is supposed to run the blowers for five
minutes after refueling before restarting the engines.

This is for noise abatement (grin) of the noise create
by explosions.

That is the one I have on our coach. WOW, 15 yrs ago it did not cost that much! When on the road, and we stop for fuel, I can feel the heat coming
out those vents. At least, standing still, they sure seem to work. Can't speak for traveling down the road. JMHO
