The inner wall and the outer wall define a hollow space between each other. The canopy has an integrated ducting system with an inlet opening within the outer wall of the canopy, whereby the hollow space constitutes an air channel for exchanging fluid between the inside and the outside of the housing.

Standby generator air flow management system

A standby generator includes a standby generator enclosure having a partition wall separating a first end from an opposite second end of the enclosure, one or more airflow openings, and a first air duct and a second air duct each coupled to at least one of the one or more airflow openings. An engine mounts in the enclosure toward the first end from the partition wall, and an alternator driven by the engine mounts in the enclosure toward the second end from the partition wall. The engine includes an engine cooling fan that faces the first end to drive engine cooling air received from the first air duct toward the first end, and the alternator includes an alternator cooling fan that faces the second end to drive alternator cooling air received from the second air duct toward the second end.

Backplate for engine-alternator coupling in standby generator

An engine assembly is provided that includes an engine having a crankshaft that is caused to rotate response to a firing of the engine, a backplate affixed to the engine and comprising one or more air flow passages formed therethrough, and an engine cooling fan operatively coupled to the crankshaft so as to be rotated by the crankshaft, the engine cooling fan coupled to the crankshaft on a side of the backplate opposite the engine. The engine assembly also includes a fan cover mounted over the engine cooling fan and secured to the backplate, the fan cover including an opening through which an air flow is provided to the engine cooling. The backplate and the fan cover collectively form an air guide that directs a flow of cooling air generated by the engine cooling fan through the one or more air flow passages of the backplate and to the engine.

Engine system

In a cogeneration device, a space is formed on a base member that supports an engine and an electric power generator in order to store leakages from the engine in the space. A panel-fixing bracket is provided outside the storage space, at a predetermined distance from a vertical wall section forming a vertical wall of the storage space. A panel, which is a part of a package, is bolted and fixed to the bracket. This structure enables each panel to be fixed to the base member while preventing the leakages stored in the storage space from leaking out.
