Abstract:
A container for use in carrying a mobile power generator assembly, comprising:a peripheral wall defining a generally closed inner chamber; a first and second transverse partition wall inside said container inner chamber separating said inner chamber into a first and a second compartments and an intermediate compartment between said first and second compartments, with said first compartment for carrying a motor therein and with said second compartment for carrying a radiator assembly therein for operative linkage of said radiator assembly to said motor for cooling said motor; a first fresh air intake port provided in said trailer peripheral wall in said first compartment, for cooling said motor; a second fresh air intake port provided in said trailer peripheral wall in said second compartment, for cooling said radiator assembly; a hot air outlet port provided in said trailer peripheral wall in said intermediate compartment, for exhausting warm air from said inner chamber; a first air channel linking said first and intermediate compartments; a second air channel linking said second and intermediate compartments; and a plenum air fan assembly provided in said intermediate compartment for operative connection to said motor and rotating about a rotational axis radially offset relative to said hot air outlet port, said plenum air fan assembly comprising a first and a second coaxially extending fan portions separated and integrally linked to a fan plate diametrally extending in said plenum fan between said first and second fan portions, said first fan portion being positioned in facing operative register with said air channel for sucking gases out of said first compartment and expelling these gases out through said hot air outlet port, and said second fan portion being positioned in facing operative register with said second air channel for sucking gases out of said second compartment and expelling these gases out through said hot air outlet port, with said second fan portion being axially longer than said first fan portion, for providing a greater air flow in said second compartment than in said first compartment.
