Silent Generator Enclosure Planning

How to define acoustic targets, ventilation, weather protection, service access and fuel or exhaust interfaces for a silent generator package.

Key Takeaways

  • Specify the acoustic measurement basis, not only a dB number
  • Balance airflow and heat rejection with sound attenuation
  • Confirm access, dimensions and interfaces around the selected generator

Technical guide introduction

The CAMDA brochure presents silent packages as an engineered enclosure around a selected generator set. Construction, airflow, sound attenuation, vibration, service access, fuel and exhaust interfaces are reviewed together.
