All About Air-Cooled Generators
The air-cooling system of your generator is a vital piece in making sure your engine functions and maintains a cool temperature. With an air-cooled generator, staying informed about

For totally enclosed water-air cooled machines, the cooling air temperature is that of the air leaving the coolers. On machines designed for cooling water from 5o to 30o C –the temperature
Air-cooled generator inlet temperature
In this method of cooling, inlet air to the compressor is cooled from ambient temperature to a lower temperature by means of an "ammonia-water" vapor absorption
Generator Enclosure Spacing
Cooling systems are designed to provide adequate cooling for full load operation at a specified ambient air temperature typically between 40C° (104F°) and 50C° (122F°).
Ambient temperature vs. air on core (AOC) temperature
This paper aims at differentiating between the ambient temperature vs. air-on-core (AOC) method of rating the performance of a cooling system used on a generator set.
Examples of Airflows for Different Enclosed Generator Applicatio
When discharging air vertically, because the generator is surrounded on all sides, can result in higher than ambient air temperatures being pushed into inlet vents.
GENERIC GENERATOR INSTALLATION MANUAL
Factors such as climate and direction of prevailing winds must be considered in an outdoor installation. If your generator is expected to be in temperatures lower than -20 o F (-29 o C) consult the generator
AGN 088 Air Flow and Cooling
As a starting point, if the ductwork at both inlet and outlet is only some 1.5m long [at each end], then the cross sectional area of the inside of the ductwork should be twice the area that is designed at the

Totally Enclosed Air-to-Air Cooled TEAAC (CACA) Cooling air supplied by shaft-mounted fan or separate blowers. 50 to 100 CFM per kW of losses. Oversized for a typical 20o C rise over
Remote Cooling
One important reason for this is that if the combustion air intake temperatures get too high, the generator engine will derate and the generator will not be able to output rated power.
