soundproof generator box

portable soundproof box for the generator

   The Honda generator is one of the quieter ones available but to feel comfortable using it freely in a variety of places, I wanted to try and come up with a box that it could run in while not getting any hotter than if it were in open air.

This is how it ended up looking

It has a 240 volt socket and 3 x 240 volt fans to provide cooling air pressure to the box

Inside the fans look like this

Insulation is foil lined and available from Whitworths http://www.whitworths.com.au 

The Honda sits up against the soundproof material at the exhaust end so the warm exhaust gases so not mix with the cooling air.

It now runs as cool as in open air but MUCH quieter

The exhaust end looks like this

With my 30amp charger it only needs to run about 60 minutes per day to supply us with the power we currently use.
