4.6 Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed
indoor, the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at
least 1000mm from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly
burn the valves.
Room Size
If the generator is installed indoors, it must be protected from the environment while having
good ventilation and cooling. Some considerations for planning a room or enclosure are:

Never use the generator room for storage.

The room must be large enough to contain the generator and all the accessories.

1200mm must be allowed on the two sides and 1000mm in front of the engine for
service access. Allow clearance between hot parts of the system (exhaust) and
structural members of the building (see figure below).

At the alternator end of the engine, allow a space equal to the length of the
generator.

The generator installation must comply with all of the current relevant standards
and local authority requirements.
