The generator air cooler has low air flow
An airflow short circuit occurs when cooling air bypasses its intended path inside the generator and returns directly to the air intake without adequately passing over the hot zones, such as the stator windings, rotor, and exciter. . Reliable cooling is one of the most critical aspects of diesel generator performance. One hidden issue that can severely impact performance is the airflow. . NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to a proce ice might be performed and of the possible hazar s and/or results of each method. We have not undertaken any such wide evaluation. Where strong prevailing winds are anticipated, face the engine end away from the wind. Typical Outside Small Generator Installation. . Each generator set manufacturer offers different cooling system design options.
