12.4 Additional measures required for engine enclosures
The sound insulation features a high thermal insulation which must be considered for the heat
dissipation.
The temperatures inside an engine enclosure can considerably increased; therefore, attention
must be paid to the temperature resistance of the engine components and used construction
elements.
To reduce the thermal load in an engine compartment, it is recommended to provide a forced
ventilation via an auxiliary fan or by suitable installation measures at the air intake and
discharge ducts of an engine installation.
12.5 Notes
Detailed enclosure measure to reduce the noise generated by the diesel engine are not
described here, as all silencing measures have to be matched to the overall arrangement of the
driven equipment and the engine and its power take-off units.
In view of the complexity of this subject, please contact application engineering for individual
applications or the Technical Support of the head office.
