INTRO
Noise from
generators when camping to recharge 12 volt batteries can be a
problem. Alan has converted a section of the toolbox on the
front of his camper trailer into a soundproof box for his MGC
generator.
WHAT'S
IN IT
The
generator box is lined with sound proofing ($60) while 75mm
galvanized pipe ($10 on special at Bunnings) provides the
necessary exhaust for the generators petrol motor fumes & also
air intake boosted by a 12 volt blower, depicted as the square
box in the photos.
HOW IT
WORKS
The 12
volt blower provides cooling air & also pressurises the box.
The air then exits down the exhaust tube where the already
silenced exhaust fumes are ejected. The exhaust is further
silenced inside this 900mm long pipe.
It all
works pretty quiet now & as I say "purrs like a kitten".....
well maybe just a little bit louder.
