4 FAQs about Silent generator air duct

How do you duct a generator?

This heated air must be expelled to the outside of any structure housing a generator. Whenever possible, use no ductwork at all. Simply position the inlet air duct so that air will be drawn directly over the generator and expelled horizontally to the building exterior (outdoors).

What is a silent-mod HVAC duct silencer?

Silent-Mod HVAC Duct Silencers are engineered to manage noise in commercial HVAC and industrial ventilation systems. Available as rectangular, elbow, or circular shapes, these silencers offer broad-spectrum sound attenuation using aerodynamic acoustic baffles filled with sound-absorbing, acoustic-grade material.

How does an air cooled generator work?

Air cooled unit draws cooling air from different ends of the unit to cool the system, dependent upon the units cooling system design. Check with the generator's manufacturer to determine the optimal cooling method for the system. Factors such as climate and direction of prevailing winds must be considered in an outdoor installation.

What is a restriction to air flow in an air cooled generator?

Louvers, screening, expanded metal and other materials used to cover air openings are a restriction to air flow. This restriction must be compensated for by making the air opening size proportionally larger. When possible, position the engine end of air cooled generators in line with the air inlet per the manufacturer's recommendation.
