Now, on a New front I am in the process of developing a sound enclosure for a STOCK 3000w genny and testing gives me low 50's DbA readings with marvelous cooling. Prof95 has a retrofitted enclosure with such a reading that includes a LPG retro. A few others already (like Lew) have done well in the area. My read is that we can have these STOCK 3000w Chinese gennys sound real 'sweet and low' on the cheap and be the talk of the CG's if that's what you like.:B
I must know how this works! I want a genset for my RV but I won't pay for one. I have been experimenting with differing exhausts to quiet my 8700 watt down. The engine gets quieter, but the whole thing makes a lot of noise!
PLEASE PLEASE share your knowledge oh wise one!
Floyd is being too kind. The truth is his retrofit looks be be a great success due to his hard work and ability to imagine what he wants and to build it. He took my suggestions and IMPROVED them. I admire people who question, think, and test. I will put together a complete "story" so to speak along with pictures and db readings. I guess what I am trying to say is he deserves the credit for what looks to be a successful project, not me. I only hope I have his "vinegar" when I am as old as wise as him. (sorry about the "old" thing):B
Thanks Floyd,
Brad
Edit.....
For StlHeadke:In case you have not seen it, hear is a link to my original retrofit. I must say that
allot of people who post on this thread had a part in making it a success.
