Air-Cooled Systems
-
Functionality:
- Utilizes air to dissipate heat generated by the engine.
- Suitable for smaller generator sets and portable units.
-
Components:
- Cooling Fins: Attached to engine components to increase surface area for heat dissipation.
- Fans: Force air over the cooling fins to enhance heat transfer.
-
Advantages:
- Simpler design with fewer components.
- Lower maintenance requirements.
- Ideal for small to medium-sized generators.
-
Applications:
- Used in portable generators and smaller stationary units where simplicity and reliability are paramount.
