Next message: Ed Kelly: "Re: lv-ab: Honda gen plumbed in PROBLEM?"
Suggest that you contact Honda on advisability of mounting in a box. I use
commercial air cooled generators at work that are permanently mounted in an
outdoor housing. These were fitted with "Air Vac" cooling, a reverse
cooling fan that is about 10X the capacity of the original. This then ducts
the heated air outside the housing, at about 100mph! The cooling system
originally supplied WILL NOT WORK in a box. There normally is not a way to
duct the cooling air and if it were, the volume of air must be increased to
make up for ducting losses.
