GENERATOR ROOM VENTILATION CALCULATION

Diesel Generator capacity = 33 KVA

H
Ventilating air (cu.m/min.) = + Engine Combustion Air
D x SH x Dt

Where :-
H = Total Heat Radiation in (KW) (for engine + generator)
H = 6 KW (Ref. To specs. Sheet)
V = Ventilating air (cu.m/min.)
D = Density of air (kg/m3)
= 1.07 At 54 deg. C
SH = Specific heat of air ( kw.min/Kg.C)
= 0.017
dT= Temp. Rise inside engine room ( deg.C)
= 10 deg.C
ECA = Engine Combustion Air (Exhaust gas flow )
= 3 cu.m/min (Ref. To specs. Sheet)
7,182 cu.m/hr.

Radiator fan air flow = 17.6 cu.m/sec. (Ref. To specs. Sheet)

= 70 cu.m/min
= 2,470 cu.ft/min.

THEN :-

Ventilating air (V) = + 3
1.07 x 0.017 x 10

V = 36 cu.m/min

V = 1,270 cu.ft/min.

INTAKE LOUVER SIZE

- Consider Air Velocity = 1000 ft/min.

Total Air Quantity = 1,270 cu.ft/min.
Louver Area = 1 Sq.ft
0.1 Sq.m

Important Notes :-
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
