INSTALLATION VENTILATION directly to the enclosure. With these connections the generating set can be directly connected to an air duct. The generating set normally draws air from the engine Air inlets should be louvered, where appropriate, to protect room. Engine rooms with natural ventilation must have the engine room and to protect the generating set from vent openings of adequate size and location to enable the water spray.
