It is important to note that cooling air is needed for more than just the engine; the generator intake also requires cool clean air. The most effective way to do this is to provide a ventilation air source low to the ground at the rear of the package.
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.
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. The air inlet must be capable of moving enough air through the room to provide the correct minimum CFM (cubic feet per minute) cooling for generator as specified by the generator's manufacturer.
The reason or this recommendation is that the air moving through a liquid cooled system is typically pulled past the engine and through the generator's radiator. The generator's radiator is placed so that the air is ducted out of the generator's room. 4-3. Ventilation Exhaust Fans and Air Inlet Louvers
