Design specification for air inlet shaft of generator room

Where is a diesel generator set installed?

In most cases, the diesel generator set is installed in the generator room for use. During the design process of the engine room, the air inlet and air outlet must be unblocked to ensure the air intake to supplement the air consumed by the generator combustion and the unit.

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 are the requirements & standards for engine-generators?

This guideline defines the requirements and standards for design of engine-generators and associated system components. The guideline covers basic requirements for design, system components, controls, natural gas fuel systems, exhaust systems, automatic transfer switches (ATSs), room construction, outdoor enclosures and installation.

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.
