Important Notes :-

1000 28,564 29 2.7 1- clean , cool , dry air circulates around the switchgear , flows through the rear of the generator , across the engine , and discharges through the radiator 2- Cool air shoul always be available for the engine air cleaner (air filter ). 3- For best ventilation results , air should flow first across the generator then to both sides of the engine . 4- Inlets located at the end of the room will provide adequate ventilation only to the engine nearast the inlet. 5- Air flow restriction should be 0.5 inch W.G
