Generator room Ventilation Calculation and Louver sizing using spreadsheet

[@azamalimohammed9674]

I have Following Questions 1. For Intake, Do we require a sand trap Intake air louver or is Normal Weather Louver will work? 2. From which Standard did you get the Maximum Allowable Temperature? 3. The Intake Air flow-rate Which You have calculated, Does it require a separate Exhaust fan or Radiator Fan will Exhaust this Flow rate?

i have the same as 3. Pls repply.

[@SalmanKhan-pb3fw]

Very well explained sir. Thank you 🙏

[@mohamadhanis9571]

Great video.. but why you're using "exhaust gas flow rate" instead of "combustion air inlet flow rate" from the Caterpillar datasheet?

[@smarnam]

Wrong data taken

[@jerinouseph1719]

I have the same doubt...

[@mohdshadab-ug2ut]

Thanks for informative video, do you have any video, maintain sound proof generator design.

Waqas bhi great video..

Thanks Imran Bhai

In a data sheet I have a btu per minute and kw per minute, in your calculation you have only in kw , how to coverts kw per minute or should I use it as kw directly ? Please advise Thanks

Why don't you consider the heat of the radiator? , since this is finally also rejected in the room

[@areenibdah2017]

Why you didn't consider the radiator cooling air flow into the intake calculations, you just considered the heat dissipation and air combustion?

[@datngoba-m5f]

I think this formula is only applicable for CAT genset. For Cummins, their datasheets are different, thus different and more simple formula. Intake louver size is calculated from the sum of cooling air and combustion air flow. By the way, I don't understand why you use exhaust gas flow rate in your calculation, I don't think it's correct. According to my understanding, you need to use combustion air inlet flow rate instead to calculate the intake louver. Exhaust gas flow rate is used to size the exhaust pipe, not the intake louver. Air and gas in the datasheet are different matter. Correct me if I'm wrong.

RIGHT

How do you calculate temperature at 122deg F by interpolation. Can you tell the formula?

[@rangarajanramakrishnan3249]

How do we estimate the amount of Louvres required?

[@reasmeingor1962]

Hi sir. I have one doubt, regarding the T1 & T2. Does it constant values?

[@MEPEngineeringTutorials]

T1 & T2 values as per geographical location. The values which I used here are as per UAE standard.

[@azamalimohammed9674]

@@MEPEngineeringTutorials Can you Share or Send a picture for UAE standard for T1 & T2 Temperatures

[@aslsay]

as site condition varies, not constant

[@smarnam]

Dear you taken exhaust flow rate instead of combustion air for engine please correct it

[@datngoba-m5f]

yeah I think it's not correct.

@@MEPEngineeringTutorials You're saying about the Paid Membership. Okay.

You did not consider the net free area

[@MEPEngineeringTutorials]

Louver area which I have calculated here is net area not gross area. If you want to check gross area of louver it would be twice of net area because we consider 50% net free area.
