Billy, I have a Genajunk (yeah I know lol but regardless it starts n runs n powers fine except !) 4700 Model 4.0 RV Generator I'm trying to make run a bit cooler especially if on a rare occasion if its like 90 degrees and I'm dry camping perhaps running the genset and AC maybe an hour or so before bedtime. Usually I would just move to a higher cooler elevation yayyyyyy. Best I can tell its engine end driven fan sucks cooling air in at a bottom center rectangular (perhaps 2 x 5 or so inches) open slot, then exhausts out one wide screen covered slot on the bottom on one side. It really throws a good strong air stream out that screen covered full width slot.
QUESTION What if I were to rig a 270 CFM side discharge fan on the bottom all ducted up to blow/force air into the suction intake slot ??? Do you think that would increase the compartment heat removal rate very significant??? I figure it shouldn't hurt !!!!!!!!!!!
FYI NO I don't know the CFM of the onboard engine driven fan system nor how many BTU's of heat that need to be removed nor
the cubic feet and insulation of the housing etc. etc. etc.
NO it came with the RV and for the most part works great and I'm NOT interested in changing at this time.
NO the AC is new and fine and NOT drawing excess current nor over taxing the gensets "electrical" capacity.
I ONLY wanna know if adding a 270 CFM fan similar to the one linked below to blow/force air into the bottom suction air intake might increase the heat discharge capacity to any significant degree ??????????????
Your thoughts are appreciated
John T PS in Engineering school Thermodynamics was NOT my best subject lol I do remember heat lost = heat gained. I need to extract more heat from the genset housing out to the environment to help AlGore and global warming LOL
