Indoor generator installation
Current generators are typically installed outdoors.
But generators can be also installed indoor.
For the idoor installation of a current generator:
- The room must be up to standard;
- The room must be very large and well ventilated;
- The floor must support the weight of the generator;
- The combustion exhaust and the noise pollution must be taken into account.
Ventilation of the room
In all indoor generator installations, it is absolutely necessary to provide an aeration system. The building must be designed in a way that it can handle ventilation to remove fumes and heat due to exhaust, the fuel source, starting batteries and lubrication.
The ventilation system must also allow an efficient cooling of the generator.
As regards the cooling problems, it should be noted that the hot air must be absolutely expelled. For this reason, conveyors must be used to channel the cooling air which must be expelled from the room. Between the ducting of the hot air and the motor apparatus it is necessary to interpose a flexible conveyor which allows to dampen the vibrations generated by the generating set.
Another aspect to take into consideration (and normally neglected) is represented by the presence of wind in the installation area. If there is a reasonable possibility that the wind may be an obstacle, it is necessary to provide an additional conveyor section.
If there are problems related to the noise produced by the generator it is necessary to intervene to provide the room with adequate soundproofing. Some types of sound-absorbing materials have hygienic and safety problems: for example mineral wool, if exposed directly to the environment, can release the fibers. It is therefore essential that the panels be coated with protective films to avoid the occurrence of the problem. The adoption of plastic or rubber-like materials can however cause problems with regard to their flammability or toxicity.
Exhaust gas
The most serious problem is the back pressure, the pressure opposed to the desired flow in a system. Excessive back pressure causes a loss of engine power, the increase in specific consumption and combustion temperatures which, in turn, cause excessive smoke and thermal stresses (which considerably reduce the generator life).
How to minimize back pressure:
- avoid too small pipe diameters;
- limit the number of curves along the route;
- absolutely avoid section reductions;
- use fittings with high spokes;
- limit the total length of the exhaust system.
It is also very important that the silencer and pipe supports are well mounted.
Costs
In conclusion, we can state that it is possible to install a generator indoors butit is also important to consider the cost. Of course, the cost is going to be higher when having a generator installed indoor. There is much more work that has to be done to ensure that it is safe. But the plant will be efficient and functional.
