An engine-driven working machine capable of suppressing vibration, and further securing output power of an engine is provided. An engine-driven working machine 10 is a generator in which an outer case 12 is formed to be substantially rectangular in plan view that extends in a longitudinal direction, and an engine 15 is 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. Further, an intake port 44 and an exhaust port 45 are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the outer case 12. Furthermore, a carburetor 61 is disposed at a side of the intake port 44, and a muffler 67 is disposed at a side of the exhaust port 45.

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 noise reduction apparatus includes a housing, a first baffle component, and a second baffle component. The housing includes a first installation chamber configured to contain diesel generating equipment, and the first installation chamber has a top plate, a bottom plate, and a first side plate, and a second side plate that is disposed opposite the first installation chamber from the first side plate. An air intake vent is disposed on the first side plate, and an air exhaust vent is disposed on the second side plate. A first serpentine channel is formed in the first baffle component, and one end of the first serpentine channel is connected to the air intake vent. A second serpentine channel is formed in the second baffle component, and one end of the second serpentine channel is connected to the air exhaust vent.

A heat storage cover is provided in an engine room. The heat storage cover covers an engine from above and surrounds the periphery of an upper portion of the engine to internally store, through the medium of air, heat dissipated from the engine and block upward heat dissipation. The engine includes an air inlet for introducing, into a combustion chamber, high temperature air obtained by the heat storage cover blocking the upward heat dissipation.
