Does a generator have a radiator?

ferring the heat from the engine coolant. While many generator sets have an engine mounted radiator and cooling fan, it is quite common for larger sets, particularly those locat d inside, to use a remote radiator system.This information sheet discusses systems that benefit from a r

Does a generator set have a radiator & fan?

or Generator Maintenance1.0 INTRODUCTIONEngine driven generator set systems traditionally utilize a radiator and fan for tra ferring the heat from the engine coolant. While many generator sets have an engine mounted radiator and cooling fan, it is quite common for larger sets, particularly those locat

How do I design a remote radiator cooled generator system?

Designing remote radiator cooled generator systems has many factors to consider including room design, the standard unit-mounted radiator type, the location of the radiator, and genset ratings. Consult with a local KOHLER distributor for assistance in designing remote radiator systems for your project to assure proper performance and reliability.

Can a cat gen set have a radiator?

All CAT gen sets can be equipped with various sizes of radiators mounted on the front of the unit. However, remote radiators can be used when adequate airflow through the gen set enclosure is not possible. Most radiators are made up of tubes surrounded by fins (the core) that extract heat from water pumped through the system from the engine.

What size radiator should a car have?

Most radiators are the system from the engine. Designed ambient temper-ature and adequate Radiators should be sized about 15 percent greater than the engine's heat rejection to allow for overload conditions and system degrades. Altitude, air temperature and velocity greatly affect cooling ability and performance.

Are engine-mounted radiators a good choice?

Engine-mounted radiators offer the simplest cooling system. Factory-matched for the engine and application, designers and installers need to only worry about providing adequate ventilation. In enclosures, radiator ducting should be larger than the radiator core, with inlet air ducts 1.5 times larger than outlet air ducts.
