4.1. CONCRETE FOUNDATION
The genset is set on a solid, solid horizontal and leveled base, in order to ensure the
adequate operation of the equipment. The Foundation will absorb part of the vibrations
provoked by the engine, so it should be resistant enough to support its weight, as well as
the efforts that may be generated. It is recommended that this foundation be designed
and calculated by accredited technicians.
The genset group may be installed both indoors and outdoors, always taking into account
that the group should be protected from rain and dust.
In the case of a Stationary group, this should not be installed outdoors.
In the case of an outdoor installation, the genset should have an environment with:
• Adequate ventilation;
• Sufficient distance to obstacles, for proper cooling;
• Sufficient distance to obstacles, to allow access to the maintenance;
• Necessary and adequate protections;
• Presence of an extinguisher outside;
• Presence of extinguisher inside;
• Sandbox.
Pay attention to:
• Concrete foundation;
• Ventilation;
• Extraction gases, in conduit directing gaseous
effluents;
• Grounding.
4.2. VENTILATION
In the case of an indoor installation and in order to guarantee the proper operation of the
genset, it’s necessary to guarantee new air circulation from outside, as well as create
conduit for the extraction of the (hot) air produced.
Both at the entrance and at the exit of air, there must be protection elements such as grids
and anti-bird nets, to protect the entrance space of water, land, animals and others.
One of the ways to make a proper ventilation for the interior space, will be to place the
opening for the entry of cold air on the side of the alternator. This way, the air will pass
through the alternator, go through the air filter and is expelled through the outlet opening
of hot air, at the rear of the radiator.
The recommended size for the air intake will be 2 times the effective radiator area. For
output, the minimum dimension will be 1.25 times the effective radiator area.
It is important not to place elements that obstruct the circulation of air produced by the
radiator fan.
