4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Generator set air intake and exhaust calculation - Shore Power Energy”
What is a diesel generator air intake & exhaust system?
The diesel generator air intake and exhaust system (DGAIES) provides the diesel engine with combustion air from the outside. The combustion air passes through a filter and silencer before being compressed by a turbocharger and cooled by the coolant system before entering the individual cylinders for combustion.
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.
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.
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.
