Exhaust system components such as mufflers and exhaust aftertreatment devices are a source of

engine exhaust back pressure. Increased back pressure levels can cause increased emissions,
increased fuel consumption, and can negatively affect engine performance.

The two major problems caused by diesel generators include possibilities of re-entraining their
exhaust into the building’s ventilation system (or an adjacent building’s), and unpleasant diesel
exhaust odors in the neighborhood. To prevent these problems we recommend high plume dilution
fans from Strobic Air.

Over the years we have done dozens of Diesel Generator Exhaust fan applications with Strobic Air
Tri-Stack Fans (High Plume Dilution Fan). Strobic Air has done a really nice job creating a solution to
a problem for many facility owners. A special High Temperature Tri-Stack fan is manufactured by
Strobic Air. These fans are available in rigid steel construction designed specifically for high
temperature applications (such as emergency diesel generator, furnace or boiler room exhaust). Tri-
Stack high temperature exhaust fans are UL certified for operation at 750°F for up to 2 hours without
the need for outside air dilution, and incorporate chemical resistant high temperature coatings. A
brass rub ring on the inlet bell conforms to AMCA “C” spark resistance specifications.

Use the Strobic Air Online Selection Program for picking a fan. Under the System Type, choose
Diluted Hi Temp for the high temperature diesel fan.

Benefits of using high plume fan for diesel exhaust:

Ideal for assisting dispersion of odors into the neighborhood

High constant volume discharge avoids re-entrainment

Aspirated dilution up to 270% within the fan

High temperature reduction in the mixing box

Maintenance-free operation
