Engine driven power generator
In an engine-driven power generator, a fan-equipped flywheel and a drive shaft of a power generation section are connected to a crankshaft of an engine, and the power generation section is driven by the drive shaft being driven via the crankshaft. The fan-equipped flywheel is disposed between a crankcase of the engine and the power generation section, and small- and large-diameter cooling fans for cooling the engine and power generation section are provided on the fan-equipped flywheel.
1. An engine-driven power generator comprising:
a flywheel connected to a crankshaft of an engine;
a power generation section having a drive shaft connected to the crankshaft of the engine, the power generation section being driven rotated by the drive shaft being rotated via the crankshaft, the flywheel being disposed between a crankcase of the engine and the power generation section; and
a cooling fan provided on the flywheel for cooling the engine and the power generation section, wherein the cooling fan includes a first cooling fan encompassed by a second cooling fan.
2. The engine-driven power generator according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fan is disposed radially inwardly of the flywheel.
3. The engine-driven power generator according to claim 1 , wherein the first cooling fan comprises a small-diameter cooling fan disposed concentrically around and close to an axis of the flywheel, and the second cooling fan comprises a large-diameter cooling fan, and which further comprises:
a power-generation-section-cooling-air intake passage provided in the power generation section upstream of the small-diameter cooling fan for directing external air to the small-diameter cooling fan to thereby cool the power generation section;
an engine-cooling-air intake passage provided upstream of the large-diameter cooling fan for directing external air to the large-diameter cooling fan; and
a cooling air delivery passage provided downstream of the small- and large-diameter cooling fans for directing the air from the small- and large-diameter cooling fans to the engine to thereby cool the engine.
