GENVERTERS ON VEHICLES

On vehicles the engine is cooled by a radiator with an electric
(12V) driven fan. Standard the cooler radiator is in the canopy
for mounting the genverter below the vehicle in the open air.
When the genverter is mounted inside the vehicle the radiator
should blow out air through the wall (Figure 1). When this is not
possible the radiator can better be mounted outside the canopy
and outside the vehicle. This can be in the side, below or on top
or of the vehicle.
The  exhaust  is  of  the  dry  type  and  includes  a  stainless steel
flexible bellow and high quality mufflers. Also the exhaust can
be at the side, below or on top of the vehicle.
IT  IS  VERY  IMPORTANT  TO  EVALUATE  ALL  PRO’S  AND  CONT’S
BEFORE MAKING A CHOICE HOW TO SET UP THE INSTALLATION.
