A genset enclosure includes a frame system, a plurality of side panels, a plurality of roof panels, a first connector, and a second connector. The frame system includes a plurality of interconnected frame members. The plurality of side panels are coupled to opposing sides of the frame system. The plurality of roof panels are coupled to a roof of the frame system and extend between the opposing sides of the frame system. The plurality of roof panels are oriented perpendicular to the plurality of side panels. The frame system, the plurality of side panels, and the plurality of roof panels together define an enclosure portion having a first open end and a second open end. The first connector and second connector are engageable with one another and are coupled to the frame system along a perimeter of the first open end and the second open end, respectively.

A utility vehicle includes an exhaust assembly fluidly coupled to an engine. Depending on various parameters, such as the size and/or performance of the vehicle, the exhaust assembly is required to meet certain emissions regulations. Such emissions regulations may be met by increasing the temperature within the exhaust assembly, however, at particularly high temperatures, a catalyst of the exhaust assembly may be damaged. Therefore, the exhaust assembly includes various options for cooling portions thereof to remove heat from the assembly.

There is provided a generator system for generating power and heat. The system comprises an engine, an electrical power generator driven by the engine, a radiator for cooling engine coolant, a heater powered by the electrical power generator, and an airflow generation device driven by the engine. The heater has an airflow outlet and an airflow inlet. The airflow generation device has an air intake inlet and an air exhaust outlet. The system further comprises a first conduit directing airflow through the radiator into the air intake inlet of the airflow generation device. The system also includes a second conduit directing airflow from the air exhaust outlet of the airflow generation device to the airflow inlet of the heater. The airflow generation device may be a centrifugal fan that draws air through the radiator and pushes the air through the heater.

A heat management system for air-cooled engines suitable to power yard care equipment or vehicles. The system may generally comprise an engine, a blower configured to blow ambient cooling air across the engine, and an exhaust system comprising an exhaust header and a muffler. The exhaust header has an inlet end which receives heated exhaust gas from the engine and an outlet end fluidly coupled to the muffler. An air control baffle is configured to redirect a portion of the cooling air from the blower towards the exhaust header and the muffler to enhance cooling the exhaust system. The system may further include an outermost protective shield exposed to equipment operators and an inner heat barrier or shield located between the muffler and protective shield. The system is designed to ameliorate both radiative and convective sources of heat transfer to maintain the protective shield at temperatures below established industry standards.

An engine system which combines an internal combustion engine with a unique air-cooling system. The air-cooling system includes a cooling cylinder(s) which is disposed in the engine block. Input air is expanded through the cooling cylinder from the intake manifold directly to the exhaust manifold. No high compression or combustion takes place in the cooling cylinder. Heat from the cooling cylinder is transferred to the input air, and the heated air is then exhausted to the internal combustion engine exhaust stream where it is used to help power a turbocharger.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to remove dust from an electronic device. An example apparatus includes a fan to rotate in a first direction in a first mode of operation of the electronic device, the first mode of operation corresponding to user operation of the electronic device, at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine an operation time of the fan in the first mode of operation, and cause the fan to operate in a second mode of operation based on the operation time exceeding a threshold time, and, wherein in the second mode, pulsed power is applied to the fan to rotate the fan in a second direction opposite the first direction.
