Installation Recommendations
Preliminary design
Site location
A. Determine whether the location of the acoustic
enclosure will be inside a building or outside in a
shelter or housing. The overall cost and ease of
installation of the power system depend upon the
layout and physical location of all elements of the
system –– generator set, fuel tanks, ventilation ducts
and louvers, accessories, etc.
B.Road and access to site needs to be checked before
transport. Road closure or transport escort also needs
to be considered before physical movement.
C.Crane reach or crane height needs to be checked or
alternatively rolling needs or fork lift arrangements are
to be made.
D.Fuel supply tank design and installation in many areas
is controlled by regulations that are generally written for
two separate purposes: environmental protection and
fire protection. Regulations, their enforcement and
exemptions vary by location, it is necessary to research
and understand local requirements.
E. Acoustic enclosure should be located considering wind
direction ensuring that there is no obstruction to natural
wind flow and the prevailing wind do not enter into the
radiator / exhaust outlet. If this is not possible, install a
wind barrier. Distance of the wind barrier from the
enclosure should be atleast 2.5 - 3 times radiator side
opening height.
F. Enclosure should be located away from polluted
atmosphere like acidic fumes, cement dust, stone dust
cotton fibres, furnace chemicals etc. wherever
possible. In case location is dusty or polluted, contact
OEM/ Cummins. Heavy duty air cleaner is must for
such installations. Heat exchanger cooled system is
recommended for such installations as radiator gets
clogged in dusty atmosphere.
G.For humid / coastal atmospheric applications, anti
condensation heaters are mandatory for alternator.
H.Consider issues of security from flooding, fire, icing,
and vandalism.
I. Proper access is important for
- Initial product delivery and installation.
- Service i.e. for general maintenance and inspections.
- Working space for major work such as overhauls or
component removal/replacement.
J. Rooftop installations require further planning and
structural design consideration. Vibration and fuel
storage / delivery may be problematic with rooftop
installations.
K. For aesthetic reasons, consider exhaust placement in
relation to the building. Over a period of time, exhaust
gas carbon deposits will tend to accumulate on any
nearby wall or structure.
