Do you think I might get further dB reduction with the GenTent? I'm wondering if because my genset is much higher off the ground, that accounts for less dB reduction? I'd rather not have to dismount the genset just to lower it to the ground. If I didn't get significant further reductions, how about making heavy "curtains" to extend from the bottom of the GenTent to within a few inches of the ground?
John,
I do not believe the GenTent would fit over your enclosure. If the company decides to build a larger tent for something like the 6,500 watt models there is a possibility.
Studying on this thing I honestly think that while the double thickness of canvas tenting material does a fair job of sound reduction it is the AZDEL fiberglass composite sandwiched in the middle that is adding to the reduction. On my end, I am curious to see what effect taking the ADZEL panels out may be.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where or how to buy a sheet of ADZEL - or even what it would cost if I wanted to try and use it as an additional sound reduction material on a homebrew enclosure.
I don't want anyone to get the impression that I think this thing is the answer to all of our noise reduction concerns. It did do a great job in my tests and the generator managed to stay withing operating range for temperatures. But, as Bill noted it does have a noisy end and as I noted it is not for use on HOT, HOT days with the genny running full bore. It is a neat, well made accessory but it does have its time and place.
