Generator exhaust material

Who designs and installs a generator exhaust system?

The proper design and functionality of a generator exhaust system falls on the responsibility of the engineering firm of record. If a field fabricated system is being utilized, the design and installation of the system must be a collaboration between the engineering firm and the installing contractor.

What is a generator set exhaust system?

A generator set exhaust system performs the same basic function as any other exhaust system - it provides a pathway for exhaust gases to escape into the air. However, there are a few special considerations to keep in mind for generator installations. Generators are often located indoors, so removing harmful exhaust gases is critical.

Why should you choose a prefabricated generator exhaust system?

Let us show you how. Prefabricated generator exhaust systems have emerged as the preferred choice over traditional field-welded assemblies. These systems offer significant advantages, including time savings, cost-effectiveness and enhanced safety when dealing with high temperatures and exhaust gas pressures.

How safe is a generator exhaust system?

Your generator set exhaust system must be installed safely, resulting in no recirculation of harmful exhaust gases back into your building’s HVAC system. The only way to ensure that your generator discharges exhaust gases safely is to use an exhaust system that has been designed properly.

Can a generator set have all exhaust system combinations?

Note: Some generator set models may not offer all exhaust system combinations. Use the illustrations on the following pages to select the available silencer type and exhaust system configuration best suited for your application. Consult with your authorized distributor/dealer for silencer and component kit numbers and for silencer dimensions.

Do generator exhaust systems need to be insulated?

Generator exhaust systems are insulated to reduce the amount of heat radiated to the mechanical space, chase, and chimney. Based on the system routing, a risk of direct contact to the system by maintenance or repair personnel must also be considered. The maximum exhaust gas temperature determines the amount of insulation required.
