Each EDG set has a separate, independent diesel engine combustion air and exhaust gas system, as shown in Figure 9.5.8-1—Emergency Diesel Generator Air Intake and Exhaust System.
The appropriate size depends on the generator''s engine displacement, exhaust port diameter, and recommended exhaust flow rate. The generator''s service manual offers guidance.
Adding a muffler helps reduce noise levels significantly, making the generator operation quieter and more pleasant. Mufflers also help in smoothing the exhaust flow, potentially improving
