Construction specification for air intake in generator room

What happens if the design of air intake and exhaust routes is unreasonable?

If the design of the air intake and exhaust routes of diesel generator room is unreasonable, it will cause the hot air of the unit in the engine room to circulate in the engine room, resulting in a serious increase in the temperature of the engine room, thus affecting the normal operation of the diesel generator set.

Should a generator air inlet be facing the wind?

When ever possible, face the generator air inlet openings away from the wind. The wind can prevent the air intake louver from opening on start up. The air inlet must be capable of moving enough air through the room to provide the correct minimum CFM (cubic feet per minute) cooling for generator as specified by the generator's manufacturer.

What is a restriction to air flow in an air cooled generator?

Louvers, screening, expanded metal and other materials used to cover air openings are a restriction to air flow. This restriction must be compensated for by making the air opening size proportionally larger. When possible, position the engine end of air cooled generators in line with the air inlet per the manufacturer's recommendation.

What is a good ventilation system in a diesel generator room?

A good ventilation system in the diesel generator room must ensure that there is enough air in and out, and free circulation can be achieved in the engine room. Therefore, there should be enough space in the computer room to ensure that the temperature in the computer room remains balanced and the air circulates normally and smoothly.
