(2) Enclosure Cooling and Ventilation System. Air
intake openings and engine intake ducts at the rear of the
enclosure assembly allow for the engine cooling using external
air. Two thermostatically controlled fans (5, Figure 1-2)
mounted in the enclosure assembly activate during high
temperature conditions to drive hot exhaust air through openings
in the enclosure.
(3) Skid Base. The welded skid base (17, Figure 1-2)
provides the main structural support for the generator set. The
engine/generator assembly is mounted to the skid base with
vibration isolators which isolate engine generated vibration
from the rest of the generator set. The generator set’s plastic
fuel tank is contained within the skid base, as is the 24VDC
battery.
(a) The skid base contains four swing-out lift
handles (7), two standard lifting handles (9), four tie-down
rings (8), and two forklift openings (12).
(b) An oil drain plug (10) and fuel drain plug (11)
protrude through openings on the skid base, on the right side of
the generator set.
(c) A 24VDC slave receptacle (14) and load terminal
connections (behind cover (16)) are mounted to the skid base at
the rear of the generator set.
(4) Battery. A 24VDC battery, mounted in the skid base,
provides cranking power for the engine as well as DC power for
the control system. The battery’s location in the skid base
permits easy servicing. Openings in the enclosure assembly vent
escaping battery gases to the atmosphere, preventing gas build-
up inside the enclosure.
(5) Exhaust System. The generator set exhaust system
(20) consists of a muffler and exhaust piping. Engine exhaust
exits the generator set through an opening in the top of the
enclosure assembly. Insulating material on the exhaust system
components protects maintenance personnel against potential burn
hazards and reduces heat rejection into the enclosure assembly.
WARNING
Engine exhaust gas (Carbon Monoxide) is a deadly odorless,
colorless, poisonous gas. Avoid breathing it.
