a. Incoming data:
- Cooling air flow of generator = 2500 m3/minute
- Intake air flow = 159 m3/ minute
b. Calculation:
- Total air inlet = cooling air flow + intake air flow
Where:
+ Qv1 = total air inlet
+ Qq1 = cooling air flow
+ Qđ1 = intake air flow
 Qv1 = Qq1 + Qdd1 = 2500 + 159 = 2659 m3/ minute = 44.3m3/ second

- Cross section area of air inlet: Sv = Qv/V.h

Where:
+ Sv: air inlet cross section area
 + v: velocity of air inlet (v ≤6m/s)
+ h: free are factor (h = 0.5)
 Sv = 44.3/(6x0.5) = 14.7 m2
Air inlet cross section area = 14.7 m2
2. Air outlet
- Dimension of radiator: Skn = W x H
 Skn = 2200mm x 2200mm = 4.84m2
- Cross section of air outlet louver needed for ventilation Sr =Skn/h
Where:
+ Sr = air outlet cross section area
+ Skn = cross section area of radiator
+ h: free area factor of air outlet baffler (h = 0.5)
 Sr = 4.84/0.5 = 9.68m2
Air inlet cross section area = 9.68m2
II. VENTILATION FOR GENERATOR – 1600KVA

1. Air inlet
a. Incoming data:
- Cooling air flow of generator = 1950 m3/minute
- Intake air flow = 128 m3/ minute
b. Calculation:
- Total air inlet = cooling air flow + intake air flow
Where:
+ Qv1 = total air inlet
+ Qq1 = cooling air flow
+ Qđ1 = intake air flow
 Qv1 = Qq1 + Qdd1 = 1950 + 128 = 2078 m3/ minute = 34.6m3/ second
- Cross section area of air inlet: Sv = Qv/V.h
Where:
+ Sv: air inlet cross section area
+ v: velocity of air inlet (v ≤6m/s)
+ h: free are factor (h = 0.5)
 Sv = 34.6/(6x0.5) = 11.5m2
Air inlet cross section area = 11.5 m2
2. Air outlet
- Dimension of radiator: Skn = W x H
 Skn = 2100mm x 2100mm = 4.41m2
- Cross section of air outlet louver needed for ventilation Sr =Skn/h
Where:
+ Sr = air outlet cross section area
+ Skn = cross section area of radiator
+ h: free area factor of air outlet baffler (h = 0.5)
 Sr = 4.41/0.5 = 8.82m2
Air inlet cross section area = 8.82m2
III. VENTILATION FOR GENERATOR – 800KVA

1. Air inlet
a. Incoming data:
- Cooling air flow of generator = 726 m3/minute
- Intake air flow = 67 m3/ minute
b. Calculation:
- Total air inlet = cooling air flow + intake air flow
Where:
+ Qv1 = total air inlet
+ Qq1 = cooling air flow
+ Qđ1 = intake air flow
 Qv1 = Qq1 + Qdd1 = 726 + 67 = 793 m3/ minute = 13.2 m3/ second
- Cross section area of air inlet: Sv = Qv/V.h
Where:
+ Sv: air inlet cross section area
+ v: velocity of air inlet (v ≤6m/s)
+ h: free are factor (h = 0.5)
 Sv = 13.2/(6x0.5) = 4.4m2
Air inlet cross section area = 4.4 m2
2. Air outlet
- Dimension of radiator: Skn = W x H
 Skn = 1600mm x 1600mm = 2.56m2
- Cross section of air outlet louver needed for ventilation Sr =Skn/h
Where:
+ Sr = air outlet cross section area
+ Skn = cross section area of radiator
+ h: free area factor of air outlet baffler (h = 0.5)
 Sr = 2.56/0.5 = 5.12m2
