Room Location Often a separate building located on the site away from the main building is the most simple and cost effective. Major considerations when housing the genset in a separate building are: Maintain the building at a satisfactory temperature year round (to meet applicable codes). Assure the genset is not located so far from the emergency loads that reliability is compromised. The floor's load carrying capacity must be checked and must exceed the weight of the genset and its asso

Foundation Design WARNING: An open bottom stationary engine generator set must be installed over noncombustible materials and shall be located such that it prevents combustible materials from accumulating under the generator set. Foundation Checklist A. Evaluate if a separate, isolated foundation is required for the application. B. Observe local codes on soil bearing capacity freezing and thawing. C. Design the separate foundation for the genset and specify the appropriate concrete mix. D. Deter

Steel spring isolators are a very effective and commonly used. Steel spring isolators are typically 95-98% efficient (reduces the transmitted vibration 95-98%) while a pad type can be 75-88% efficient. Spring isolators also level the genset sub-base in the event the foundation pad is not perfectly level. Spring steel isolators offer the highest level of vibration isolation, however higher levels of vibration (although not detrimental) may be seen on some areas of the genset when mounted on

Designing An Isolated Foundation If the genset cannot be mounted directly on a floor slab, or if it is desirable to isolate it from the floor slab, then a separate foundation slab must be designed. A massive concrete foundation is not required. Outside dimensions of the foundation should exceed the outside genset dimensions by 12in (300mm). For single genset installation, the foundation weight should be a minimum of 1.50 times the genset wet weight. For multiple genset installation, the founda

Figure 2‐6 Exhaust System Calculations Exhaust Piping Caution: The weight of the exhaust system must never be imposed on the turbo-charger outlet. Damage to the turbo-charger and other components may result. An exhaust system must withstand the vibration and thermal expansion that they are subjected to, yet supported well enough to remain independent of the engine. The most common method of providing flexibility is with the use of bellows type flexible piping. This piping component allows late
