An engine-driven working machine 10 is a generator in which an outer case 12 is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction, and an engine 15 and a muffler 67 are housed in an inside 13 of the outer case 12. In the generator 10, a crankshaft 41 is disposed to intersect the longitudinal direction of the outer case 12. A cooling fan 17 is provided on an extension line 73 of the crankshaft 41. Further, a fan cover is provided at the cooling fan 17 side. Further, a shroud 82 is provided at an opposite side from the fan cover 81.

A noise suppression system for an electric generator having a housing including an internal combustion engine and air-cooled alternator. A fan draws ambient cooling air into the housing for cooling the alternator. The system may include an acoustically designed noise suppression shroud forming a cavity which contains a plurality of parallel flow baffles. The baffles define air flow passages there-between which receive cooling air heated by the alternator. In one system, the baffles are configured and arranged to block a straight line of sight between the entrance and exit of each passage. The baffles may each further include sound deadening materials on one or both sides in some configurations. Heated cooling air flows into the shroud and through the passages before being discharged from the housing. The shroud is operable to suppress noise produced by the cooling air discharge flow. Various shroud configurations may include additional sound proofing features.

A engine-generator set includes a generator for producing electricity and an engine that is coupled via flexible coupling to a shaft of the generator for driving the generator, the engine being supported against a support surface by a plurality of resilient mounting elements, and the generator being supported against a support surface by a plurality of resilient mounting elements separately from the engine, wherein the engine is mechanically connected to the generator solely via the flexible coupling.

A standby generator includes a standby housing defining a cavity and an internal combustion engine. The engine includes an engine block including a cylinder comprising a piston, an engine housing at least partially covering the engine block, and a crankshaft configured to rotate about a vertical crankshaft axis in response to movement by the piston. The standby generator also includes an alternator configured to generate alternating current electrical power, a controller comprising a rectifier configured to convert the alternating current to a direct current and an inverter configured to convert the direct current to a clean alternating current electrical power, and a transfer switch configured to receive the clean alternating current electrical power from the controller and at least one of grid, solar, or battery power, and configured to supply power to an electrical load. The internal combustion engine, the alternator, and the controller are positioned within the cavity.

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.

The power generator comprises an engine, an alternator to be driven by the engine, and shrouds that cover at least a part of the engine, and each of the shrouds is formed of a shroud main body member and a sound absorbing member.

Gas-engine replacement devices described herein include a housing that includes battery receptacle configured to removably receive a battery pack, a motor located within the housing, a power take-off shaft receiving torque from the motor and protruding from a side of the housing, a power switching network configured to selectively provide power from the battery pack to the motor, and an electronic processor.
