Abstract: An enclosure for a generator includes an air inlet formed at a first end of the enclosure, and an air inlet opening formed in a sidewall of the enclosure. The air inlet includes an air inlet duct formed in an interior space of the enclosure, and in fluid communication with the air inlet opening. The air inlet duct receives the airflow from the air inlet opening to direct the airflow towards an air outlet of the enclosure. The air outlet includes an air outlet duct formed at a second end of the enclosure which receives the airflow from the air inlet opening. The air outlet duct directs the airflow towards an air outlet opening formed in a top plate of the enclosure which provides an exit for the airflow to escape from the interior space to an ambient environment of the enclosure.
