Abstract
The invention provides to a cooling system and a method of cooling an engine-driven generator. The engine-driven generator includes an engine, a current generator, and a housing. The engine includes an engine air intake, and the current generator includes a generator air intake. The housing includes a first outlet, a second outlet, a first air passageway, and a second air passageway. The first air passageway is in communication with the second air passageway. The second air passageway partitions air into a first stream supplied to the engine air intake and a second stream supplied to the generator air intake. The first stream exits through the first outlet, and the second stream exits through the second outlet.
