I’ve ordered the direct drive Dayton 1XJY4 blower unit. I’d imagine this unit will also save some weight
Questions:
Why don’t these generators have an electric fan unit mounted on the radiator to assist with moving air. It would seem to me having the electric fan helping move (blow or pull) air we could run the blower on the medium/low speed reducing sound and vibration. To take it one step farther, I believe I’ve read that the blower fan speed could be varied based on the cooling needs of the generator.
I have yet to explore the generator installation other than a simple overview. The unit in mine is turbo charged, the exhaust pipe is damaged/crushed and needs to be repaired along with the two mufflers. The exhaust run is very long to get to the stack (runs down the center then to stack). Has anyone modified the system to be more efficient? Since I just recived my 22 ton jacks, I haven’t had any time to spend underneath studying the coach. Can the exhaust pipe run at an angle towards the pipe? Does it need two? Could we Source one muffler that gets the job done? I’ve always hear Walker manufactures quiet mufflers.
Thanks for any input and support!
