You would specify a remote radiator for a genset when the installation site has one or more of the following conditions:
- Indoor Installation without enough make-up air for a standard radiator.
- Poor Ventilation in the genset location.
- Extreme Ambient Temperatures that hinder standard radiator performance.
- Dirty, Dusty, or Corrosive Environments that would clog or damage a standard radiator.
- Severe Space Constraints around the genset.
- Stringent Noise Reduction Requirements.
- A Centralized Cooling System for multiple units.
In essence, the remote radiator for a genset is not for performance enhancement like in a PC, but for installation flexibility and reliability. It ensures the generator can reject its waste heat effectively even when its physical location is fundamentally unsuitable for a standard cooling system.
