4 Frequently Asked Questions about "The wind shaft of the generator room"

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.

How do you vent a generator?

Ventilation is typically done through the use of an air inlet, air outlet/exhaust fan, and/or other ventilation openings. 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.

How should a mechanical engineer design a genset room?

Mechanical engineers should design generator set rooms so that the electrical system meets the design goals set by the owner and electrical engineer. Understand that indoor generator sets require special attention to accessibility, code, airflow, and other factors. Know how to design a genset room to meet optimal system performance.

How do you design a generator room?

The ventilation system and overall layout of a generator room should be examined in detail during the design process. While a generator set is specified by the electrical engineer, the onus is on the mechanical engineer for an optimum design that maximizes the performance, longevity, and reliability of the genset.
