D.1 Placement<br />
D.1.1<br />
Placement and Basemount<br />
Since Panda generators have extremely compact dimensions they can be installed in tight locations,<br />
attempts are sometimes made to install them in almost inaccessible places. Please consider<br />
that even almost maintenance-free machinery must still remain accessible at least at the front<br />
(drive belt, water pump) and the service-side (actuator, dipstick). Please also note that in spite of<br />
the automatic oil-pressure sensor it is still essential that the oil level has to be checked regularly.<br />
The generator should not be installed in the proximity of light walls, which can get into resonant<br />
vibrations by airborne sound. If this is not possible, these surfaces should line with 1mm lead foil,<br />
so the mass and the swinging behavior are changed.<br />
Avoid to install the generator on a smooth surface with small mass (e.g. plywood plate). This<br />
affects in the unfavorable case like an amplifier the airborne sound waves. An improvement<br />
obtains by compound these surfaces by ribs. Also break-throughs should be sawed, which interrupt<br />
the surface. Disguising the surrounding walls with a heavy layer (e.g. lead) plus foam material<br />
improves the conditions additionally.<br />
The engine draws its inlet combustion air through several holes in the capsule base. Therefore<br />
the capsule must be fitted with sufficient clearance between the capsule underside and the base<br />
plate (min. 12mm (½")).<br />
The generator sucks its air from the surrounding engine room. Therefore it must be ensured that<br />
sufficient ventilation openings are present, so that the aggregate cannot overheat.<br />
High temperature of the intake air decline the power of the aggregate and increases the coolant<br />
temperature. Air temperatures of more than 40°C reduce the power by 2% per temperature rise<br />
of 5°C. In order to keep these effects as small as possible, the temperature in the engine room<br />
should not be higher than 15°C in relation to the outside temperature.<br />
D.1.2<br />
Notice for optimal sound insulation<br />
The convenient base consists of a stable framework,<br />
on which the generator is fastened by<br />
means of shock-mounts.<br />
Since the aggregate is "free" downward, the<br />
combustion air can be sucked in unhindered.<br />
In addition are void the vibrations, which would<br />
arise with a closed soil.<br />
