4.3. DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel engine powering the generating set (Item 3) has been
chosen for its reliability and the fact that it has been specifically
designed for powering generating sets. The engine is of the heavy
duty industrial type with 4 stroke compression ignition and is fitted
with all accessories to provide a reliable power supply. These
accessories include, among others, a cartridge type dry air filter
(item 9) and a mechanical or an electronic engine speed governor.

adequate ventilation is provided to keep the engine and alternator
cool. Proper air flow, as shown in Figure 4.4, requires that the air
comes in at the alternator end of the set, passes over the engine,
through the radiator and out of the room via a flexible exhaust
duct. Without the ducting of the hot air outside the room, the fan
will tend to draw that hot air around and back through the radiator,
reducing the cooling effectiveness.

5.8 EXHAUST
The purpose of the engine exhaust system is to direct the exhaust
outside to a location and height where the fumes and odors will
not become an annoyance or hazard, and to reduce noise. A suitable
exhaust silencer must be incorporated into the exhaust piping to
reduce the noise level from the engine.
(See Figure 5.4 - 5.5)

! Ensure hot exhaust silencers and piping are clear of combustible
material and are guarded for personnel protection per safety
requirements.
! Ensure that fumes from the exhaust outlet will not be a hazard.
In designing an exhaust system, the primary consideration is to
not exceed the allowable back pressure permitted by the engine
manufacturer. Excessive back pressure seriously affects engine

output, durability and fuel consumption. To limit the back
pressure the exhaust piping should be as short and straight as
possible. Any required bends should have a curve radius of at
least 1.5 times the inside diameter of the pipe.
Other exhaust design criteria are as follows:
! A flexible connection between the exhaust manifold and the
piping system should be used to prevent transmission of engine
vibration to the piping and the building and to allow for thermal
expansion and any slight misalignment of the piping.
