An engine generator can have an engine duct for releasing to the outside a cooling air which is used to cool an engine and a muffler, and a generator duct for releasing to the outside a cooling air which is sued to cool a generator. The engine duct and the generator duct can be formed in one body as an exhaust duct. The muffler and the generator can be laterally aligned in parallel with each other, and the engine duct and the generator duct can be located in a manner such that the directions of release of the cooling winds from the engine duct and the generator duct are parallel to each other. The exhaust duct can be located with the generator duct secured to a crankcase. An opening of the engine duct, and an opening of the generator duct can be laterally aligned with each other, and the opening of the generator duct can be positioned above the generator.
An engine generator comprising an engine, a muffler, a generator, an engine cooling air path for allowing passage of cooling air for cooling an engine and a muffler, a generator cooling air path for allowing passage of a cooling air for cooling a generator, an engine duct for guiding to the outside of the engine generator, the cooling air from the engine cooling air path, and a generator duct for guiding to the outside of the engine generator, the cooling air from the generator cooling air path, wherein the engine duct and the generator duct are formed in one body as a cooling air exhaust duct.
An engine generator comprising an engine, a muffler, a generator, and a single cooling air guide assembly defining an engine and muffler cooling air passage configured to guide a first ambient air amount into the engine generator, into thermal communication with the engine and muffler, and to discharge the first ambient air amount to the outside of the engine generator, the single cooling air guide member also defining a generator cooling air passage configured to guide a second ambient air amount into the engine generator, into thermal communication with the generator, and to discharge the second ambient air amount to the outside of the engine generator, wherein the single cooling air guide assembly is formed in one body.
