Abstract
Systems and apparatuses include a container for a generator set. The container includes a housing including a cooling room structured to support a radiator and a radiator fan within the housing, an exhaust room structured to support an aftertreatment system, an engine room structured to contain the engine and the alternator within the housing, an air intake system positioned adjacent the engine room, and a control room structured to support control equipment for the generator set. The exhaust room may further support after treatment components including a muffler and an exhaust pipe.
Claims17
A container for a generator set comprising:
- a housing defined by a first end wall and a second end wall distal from the first end wall;
- a cooling room defined within the housing adjacent the first end wall and including a cooling room wall, the cooling room containing:
- a cooling system within the housing, the cooling system including a plurality of radiator cores and at least one radiator fan;
- wherein the at least one radiator fan comprises at least one of a mechanically driven fan or an electrically driven fan, the mechanically driven fan driven mechanically by the engine such that a speed of the at least one radiator fan corresponds to a speed of the engine, and the electrically driven fan driven by an auxiliary alternator driven by the engine;
- and
- a fuel system including a fuel tank for providing fuel to an engine, the fuel system being arranged below the cooling system;
- an engine room separated from an exhaust room by an exhaust room wall and exchanging air with the exhaust room via a ventilation system;
- an air intake system positioned adjacent the engine room and including a louver moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, the louver providing an intake airflow path to the engine room, the air intake system further including an air intake system wall;
- and
- a control room separated from the air intake system by the air intake system wall to inhibit heat exchange and air flow between the control room and the air intake system, the control room structured to support control equipment for the generator set.
