ENCLOSURES FOR GENERATOR SETS
Our
Generator Enclosures are manufactured to the highest
specifications. We can supply either a simple weatherproof
enclosure or an acoustic enclosure. All our generator enclosures
are designed to allow the maximum aspiration and cooling airflow
required so the engine does not overheat. Weather louvers,
acoustic louvers, splitter and baffles are provided to suppress
the noise where required. A flexible connection between the
radiator and the outlet are provided to reduce vibration.
Anti-Vibration mounts can also be provided where required.
Shipping containers can be used as a generator enclosure by the
addition of an absorptive lining and the fitting of attenuators
or acoustic louvres at either end of the container. The
generator is fitted into the container via the double doors and
a suitable silencer is mounted on the roof.
Types of
generators: Caterpillar - Mitsubishi - Detroit - Macfarlane -
Nissan - Yanmar - Dorman - Iveco
The list
is of generators that we can treat is unlimited.
Special features
Many
special features are available depending upon the application.
Some types of equipment such as generator sets and air
compressors are self contained, but may require features
including:
Hinged or
lift off doors with single or double seals - Single or double
glazed windows - Louvers to minimize water entry and maximize
air flow through the enclosure - Mesh openings to stop vermin
and vandalism - Fuel tanks - day units or base type provided
with fittings - Ventilation - by means of an auxiliary fan -
Inlet filters - replaceable and panel types - Vibration
isolation - rubber mounted - Internal partitions - from sheet
steel - Roof reinforcing - for larger enclosures
We can
also design for - Ventilation and cooling - Access points -
Equipment vibration - Environmental issues
Construction
Acoustic
enclosures will be as varied as the customer's requirements (or
one's imagination). The enclosure outer walls generally
consist of 16 gauge thickness of galvanized mild steel sheeting,
and are internally lined to meet your requirements. The lining
material can vary from rock wool covered with perforated metal
to foams and composites. Acoustic enclosures for diesel engines
(generator sets) need to handle the aspiration and cooling
airflow through inlet and outlet attenuators, acoustic louvers,
or baffles, and provide flexible connections from the radiator
to the outlet.
We can
build the acoustic enclosure around your machine after it has
been delivered to our factory, or design and build using your
detailed drawings. We handle heavy lifts with our forklift truck
or with a mobile crane.
The
design of the acoustic enclosure is capable of variation to many
machine noise problems. Requirements can range from a small
noise reduction, in which a minimal solution will be adequate,
ie. an enclosure which may not fully enclose the machine, can
achieve 5-10 dB(A) noise reduction. More elaborate enclosures
can achieve a noise reduction of greater than 30dB(A), and can
consist of one enclosure inside another.
Painting
of the equipment can be included in our manufacturing, and will
vary from finishing with machine enamel to two-pack epoxy,
powder coating or other options.
Drop over acoustical enclosures can be used
when it is necessary to suppress noise pollution from machinery
either fixed or mobile. Legally employers must protect their
employees from continuous high noise levels above
85dB(A).Equipment such as presses, foundry shake-out machines,
nail making machines, and granulators require an inlet and
outlet for entry and exit of the product. These openings need
attenuation to minimise noise emission. Fans emitting
considerable noise through the casing will also need to be
enclosed and therefore penetrations will need to be provided for
the air inlet and outlet. A small ventilation fan may be needed
to remove the electric motor heat.
