Abstract

A genset enclosure assembly comprises a first enclosure defining a first internal volume. A genset engine is positioned within the first internal volume. A first opening is defined in a first sidewall of a first side of the first enclosure. The genset enclosure assembly also includes a second enclosure defining a second internal volume. The second enclosure is positioned adjacent to the first side and removably coupled to the first side of the first enclosure. A first genset module is positioned in the second internal volume and operably coupled to the genset engine through the first opening.

Claims (12)

1. A genset enclosure assembly, comprising:

a first enclosure defining a first internal volume and a first opening defined in a first sidewall of a first side of the first enclosure;

a genset engine chassis positioned within the first internal volume and including a first mating receptacle and a second mating receptacle arranged on opposing sides of a neutral axis of vibration;

a genset engine coupled to the genset engine chassis and positioned within the first internal volume;

a second enclosure defining a second internal volume, the second enclosure positioned adjacent to the first side and removably coupled to the first side of the first enclosure;

a genset module chassis including a first bracket configured to be removably coupled to the first mating receptacle, and a second bracket configured to be removably coupled to the second mating receptacle; and

a first genset module positioned in the second internal volume and operably coupled to the genset engine through the first opening.

2. The genset enclosure assembly of claim 1 , wherein a second opening is also defined in a second sidewall of a second side of the first enclosure, the genset enclosure assembly further comprising:

a third enclosure defining a third internal volume, the third enclosure positioned adjacent to the second side and removably coupled to the second side of the first enclosure, a second genset module positioned in the third internal volume and operably coupled to the genset engine through the second opening.

3. The genset enclosure assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first module includes at least one of an air handling module, an aftertreatment module, a control module, an organic Rankine cycle generator, a combined heat and power module, a trigeneration module, an electrical cabinet, a fuel tank or a fuel handling module.

4. The genset enclosure assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first enclosure is an ISO 6346 container.

5. The genset enclosure assembly of claim 1 , wherein a second genset module is positioned within the first enclosure.
