Exhaust Requirements
The exhaust muffler is located in a compartment in the
skid under the engine end of the generator set. See
Figure 6-2. The exhaust system is complete for
generator sets installed outdoors. The screened piece
coveringthemufflercompartmentpreventscontactwith
the hot exhaust system and keeps rodents and other
animals out.
For generator sets installed inside a building pipe
exhaust outside. Use available flexibleexhaust kit and
duct flange kit. Correctly size any extension added to
the exhaust outlet so it does not affect the maximum
allowablebackpressureof the engine. Totallengthand
number of bends in the exhaust system may have an
effect on the back pressure. Locate the exhaust outlet
to prevent entry by rodents and birds. Use a rain cap
when the exhaust outlet is directed upward.
