Abstract

The soundproof casing is divided to an engine room (1), a muffler room (2) and a radiator room (3). The engine room (1) includes the engine E and a work machine unit (generator unit G). The muffler room (2) includes mufflers M1, M2. The radiator room includes a radiator R. An electric fan D is provided between an air intake aperture (22a) and the radiator. The radiator room and the muffler room are communicated. An air flow duct (4) to communicate the engine room and the muffler room is provided. An engine fan F is provided just opposite to an entrance of the air flow duct. An inter-cooler I is provided in the air flow duct. The soundproof type engine driven work machine including aforementioned apparatuses is offered to improve the cooling efficiency as well as reducing unfavorable noise.
