Back pressure question for fixed RPM engine
Back pressure question for fixed RPM engine
(OP)
We have a 125kWe natural gas generator set (having a 8.3L 1800 rpm turbocharged engine). The genset is housed in its oem enclosure w/internal silencer and has the vertically oriented tailpipe w/rain-cap just clearing the enclosure roof (nothing esoteric, just standard stuff). Anyway, our client wishes to extend the tailpipe section ([b]after[/b] the silencer) by about 6 feet. Will this be ok? I don't know if back pressure will be adversely affected or not on a fixed rpm engine.
Thoughts?
