he canopy design has to allow the correct amount of air in and out. While a generator's rated power output will be reduced as the ambient air temperature increases above 21°C (70°F), the s our calculated to permit air flow requirements for:3.1 RADIATOR:Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) are fited
When ever possible, face the generator air inlet openings away from the wind. The wind can prevent the air intake louver from opening on start up. The air inlet must be capable of moving enough air through the room to provide the correct minimum CFM (cubic feet per minute) cooling for generator as specified by the generator's manufacturer.
Louvers, screening, expanded metal and other materials used to cover air openings are a restriction to air flow. This restriction must be compensated for by making the air opening size proportionally larger. When possible, position the engine end of air cooled generators in line with the air inlet per the manufacturer's recommendation.
Find the area of the generator's inlet air duct, by multiplying the air duct height by its width. Divide the inlet air duct area by the percentage of free air inlet area for the particular screening or expanded metal to be used. The result is the required size of the air inlet opening in the building.
As a starting point, if the ductwork at both inlet and outlet is only some 1.5m long [at each end], then the cross sectional area of the inside of the ductwork should be twice the area that is designed at the

When discharging air vertically, because the generator is surrounded on all sides, can result in higher than ambient air temperatures being pushed into inlet vents.
