INDUSTRIAL GENERATOR SETS — APPLICATION & INSTALLATION MANUAL — REV. #4 (09/07/07) — PAGE 61
For outdoor installations, weather and silenced housings
are available for the industrial generator. Housed industrial
units typically do not use ventilation louvers. However,
louvers are another ventilation option and can be found on
MQ Power Studio generators and will be referenced in this
manual for information purposes.
Louvers
Louvers are automatic ventilation doors that open when
the engine engages and close while not in use. Louvers
protect the genset and equipment room from the outside
environment. Their operation of opening and closing should
be controlled by operation of the genset.
In cooler climates movable or discharge louvers are used.
These louvers allow the air to be recirculated back to the
equipment room. This enables the equipment room to be
heated while the genset engine is still cold, increasing the
engine efficiency.
