How to Select the Exhaust Pipe of Generator Correctly

When the generator is installed, in order to absorb thermal expansion, unit displacement and vibration, the generator exhaust port should be connected with a retractable stainless steel bellows of more than 24 inches. Similarly, the exhaust port of small generator directly fixed on the floor should also have more than 18 inches of corrugated pipe.

It is strictly forbidden to use corrugated pipes as elbows and to compensate for pipe installation errors. In order to reduce condensation corrosion, the exhaust pipe muffler shall be installed as close to the generator as possible for rapid heating. Mufflers and exhaust pipes shall be supported by hangers, and generator exhaust pipes are strictly prohibited. Otherwise, the generator exhaust pipe will be damaged, reducing the life of the turbocharger. Black iron pipe is recommended for exhaust pipe. Select elbow with larger radius as far as possible.

On the premise of meeting the back pressure limit of generator exhaust pipe, it is recommended that the nominal diameter of the entire exhaust system pipe should be consistent with the generator exhaust port as much as possible. It is prohibited to use pipes with a diameter smaller than the exhaust port, because the thick pipes are more vulnerable to condensation corrosion, and also expand the exhaust emissions, causing power loss.

The smaller the change of exhaust system pipe diameter, the smaller the friction loss. All silencers and exhaust pipes shall be insulated to avoid accidental contact with fire or false start of automatic fire extinguishing equipment, and reduce condensation corrosion and heat radiation in the unit room. Exhaust pipes and combustibles shall be spaced at least 9 inches apart. When it is necessary to pass through the wall and ceiling, the exhaust pipe shall be provided with a flame retardant sleeve or thermal insulation cotton. When the temperature rises by 100 ° F at room temperature, the exhaust pipe will expand by about 0.0076 inch per inch. It is recommended that stainless steel bellows be used to absorb the thermal expansion of long straight pipes. Flat exhaust pipes should have a slope. The low end is far away from the generator and extends to the outdoor or condensate collector.
