Nice one leinaghtan.

What soundproofing material did you use?
Is it just an exhaust pipe extension?

It's just a stainless pipe 1/2" -enlarger coupling - 1" pipe - 1" elbow. Para di sakal yung usok kaya I thought of the enlarger.

Significant ba noise reduction? How about heat dissipation by the fan, enough ba? Gayahin ko yan pero sa smaller genset. Meron ako ngayon promate 3000w na nahiram, tantiyahin ko yung ingay.

Wala palang 1800rpm na small diesel genset? All the same 3600rpm din, same as gas. At parang mas tahimik pa gas kesa disel na open type?

Tumahimik sya. Kasing ingay na lang sya ng old kelvinator window type ac namin eh. The active fan can reduce the heat from the inside kasi sa opposite side panel nito nilagyan ko rin ng passive ventilation holes.

sir... ingat po kayo may mga kilala ako... gumawa ng sarileng enclosure... nag cause ng sunog... (10kva pataas)

sa init ng exhaust pipe kadalasan nag start ang fire.... i suggest ample space and put fire retardant foam and top it with steel screen sa area ng exhaust pipe..

Ok thanks for the precautions/suggestions. All areas of concern will be dealt with. Yung sa area ng pipe holding it from the panel may fireproof belt (I dont know what it is called) Yung nilalagay na holder sa tail pipe ng mga vehicles. Will still need to make minor mods sa areas where heat would mostly develop. My genset is just 4.5kva.

Basta direct coupled sir, expect a higher rpm, mapa diesel or gas, or yung mga air cooled, typical, highspeed.

Just purchased a Kubota replica made by Chingqong Golden Bow, 14 HP direct injection engine, i-drive nya sa ngayun ay 5kW na dynamo/alternator... Expected fuel cost for an 8 hour operation at around 2kW load is PhP 150.00 hehehe...

Yung direct coupled diesel na china made na sinasabi rated above 5kVA, is in real life 4kVA lang, aside from that 1 liter per hour ang consumption at around 50% load..

Mukhang hindi magtatagal ang genset sa setup mo sir, hindi advisable sa genset ang kinukulong sa ganyan space... Kung radiator type yung genset mo, parang pwede i-ganyan, pero kung air-cooled, delikado.

google mo sir, maraming DIYs na genset enclosure. Air-cooled type is no exception. Buti pa nga yung genset may exhaust fan, bahay ko wala eh, he he. Seriously, my main concern before making this project is all about safeties. Thanks for the heads up anyways.
