9.5.8 Diesel Generator Air Intake and Exhaust System
The cooled compressed air forces more air into each cylinder during the intake portion of the combustion cycle, increasing the horsepower of the engine. The compressed air is required for the EDG to meet

Installation of Diesel Generator Intake and Exhaust Systems
To ensure sufficient air circulation in the engine room, the net intake area should be at least 1.5 times the effective area of the generator''s radiator core. If the intake area is too small, it can

Cooling and Exhaust System of Diesel Generator Sets
To prevent the return of hot air, the inlet of the diesel generator set should be as far away from the exhaust outlet as possible, and the air in the machine room should be allowed to flow

Remote Cooling
In addition to the air volume required, it is important to consider the location of room air inlet/discharge in relation to the genset to avoid any hot spots or localized overheating.

Examples of Airflows for Different Enclosed Generator Applicatio
When discharging air vertically, because the generator is surrounded on all sides, can result in higher than ambient air temperatures being pushed into inlet vents.
