Genset installed in an enclosed 10x14 insulated wood-frame building. Exhaust connected to a Maxim silencer mounted outside.
I mounted a K+N style conical filter behind a gable end vent for intake manifold air. Wow, is that a source of some loud noise!
I have louvered openings approximately 24"x24" for fresh air circulation. These are noise sources as they create an opening in the wall through which engine and radiator fan noises pass.
I was planning on installing turn-down hoods over the louvers. Any ideas on design, internal baffles, materials, sound deadening materials, etc?
Anyone running an intake silencer? I have read about them, but have no experience. Really need to quiet down the air intake at the filter. If I can reduce the noise at the fresh air intake, I will likely mount my air filter inside the fresh air inlet, which should help eliminate some of the noise.
Any designs for home-brew stuff would be appreciated. Some of this genset-specific stuff gets a little pricey from commercial dealers...
