The major disadvantage of the skid–mounted radiator is the requirement to move a relatively large volume of air through the generator room, since the air flow through the room must be suffi-cient for

Remote Cooling Design Factors for Standby Generators

To determine how far away the radiator can be from the generator, two things must be considered: static head and dynamic head. These limits can be found on manufacturer spec sheets; consult your local

Generator Engine Room Ventilation

It is important to note that cooling air is needed for more than just the engine; the generator intake also requires cool clean air. The most effective way to do this is to provide a

im_iin_i0105en-GB08

There must always be a bleed pipe between the upper part of the radiator and the ex-pansion tank to prevent air from entering the cooling system. The inner diameter of the bleed pipe must not be

Knowledge of Air Intake and Ventilation System of Generator Set

The correct air flow route is that the air flows from the tail part, through the engine radiator, and then is discharged out of the room through a removable exhaust pipe.

Examples of Cooling Solutions for Engine Driven Generator Sets

Water from the engine is piped to an engine-mounted radiator, and a fan driven by the engine blows cool air through the radiator to ensure return water piped back to the engine is within the required limit.

Remote Cooling

To determine how far away the radiator can be from the generator, two things must be considered: static head and dynamic head. These limits can be found on manufacturer spec sheets; consult your local

Figure 17-13. Remote Radiator Application "A"

The radiator is mounted so that the radiator top tank is the highest point in the water system, preventing air pockets which could cause stoppage of coolant flow and consequent engine overheating.

GENERIC GENERATOR INSTALLATION MANUAL

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.
