Regardless of the type of generator and the fuel used for its operation, this unit is considered a source of strong noise and vibration. Such a device is not recommended to be placed in rooms with increased requirements for noise loads. For soundproofing generators, special containers (casings) with a special material inside are used. Many consumers are wondering how to ensure sufficient sound insulation when operating such equipment.

Appointment

Without the use of a noise-insulating container, when the generator is operating, a strong rumble will cause serious inconvenience to others. The leading function of the casing is considered to be just the suppression of sound. Besides, a soundproof container provides protection against the influence of adverse weather conditions (rain, snow). A particular threat is the ingress of moisture into the device, which can lead to serious emergency consequences with the equipment (up to a fire) and costly repairs.

Also, a noise-proof container protects the generator from the influence of low temperatures. The casing has a certain thermal insulation function, which allows the equipment to be used in the winter season.

Pros and cons of using

The advantages of using a casing include the following factors:

  • soundproofing;
  • protection against mechanical stress;
  • thermal insulation;
  • high protection against moisture and dust.

The disadvantages include:

  • the possibility of severe overheating;
  • fire hazard;
  • if a thorough generator inspection or service is required, this cannot be done without removing the shroud.
