Generator Room Ventilation

This document provides calculations for sizing ventilation requirements for a generator room and transformer room. It calculates heat loads, required airflow, and intake/exhaust area sizes for different equipment configurations including generators running, generators off with radiator fan cooling, and generators off with no cooling. Intake and exhaust areas are based on specified air velocities and a louver free area of 50% is used. Total required intake/exhaust areas are presented for the number of active generators and transformers.
