Generator Mounting - Location
The
complete generator unit
is
mounted
on
lightweight
rails
by
means
of four flexible isolator mounts that
help
prevent the transfer of vibration from the generator to the
rails.
Each
generator mounting
rail
has
several
1/2-inch bolt holes so bolts
can
be
employed to properly
secure
the generator to its mounting platform.
These
holes
are
on
15
inch mounting
centers.
The
location should
be
dry,
above
low-lying vapor
areas,
and
in
an
area
where
bilge water
and
water from
above cannot
splash
on
the generator. It
should
be
properly ventilated
and
accessible for minor servicing
and
repairs.
Access for major repairs should
be
given
consideration
as
well.
The
location
should
be
proper-
ly ventilated to provide
fresh
cooling air for the generator
end,
for
engine
combustion
needs,
and
to
remove
heat
produced by the engine while operating.
The
generator
set
needs
fresh
cool air
in
whatever location
in
the
vessel
it
is
installed. Hot generator discharge air must
be
removed
from the generator
area.
The
plat-
form
on
which the generator
and
its mounting
rails
are
located
should
be
strong enough to support the gen-
erator during
all
angles of
vessel
operation.
