Belt-driven and electric motor-driven fans suit different generator radiator configurations — and choosing the wrong type creates installation and performance problems that are costly to fix. This guide covers how each drive type works, where each falls short, and what parameters need to be matched to select the right fan for your generator cooling system.

A dry cooler doesn't need to go offline to get cleaned — a fact that surprises many operators. Fouled coils are one of the most common, preventable causes of declining cooling performance in industrial systems, with research showing airflow restriction can cut cooling capacity and efficiency significantly. This guide walks through how to inspect, clean, and verify dry cooler coil performance using low-pressure air, soft brush, and water cleaning methods — most of it without a shutdown — plus how to prevent contamination in harsh outdoor environments.

Is Your Generator Set at Risk of Overheating?Before checking routine items such as oil and filters, one critical component is often overlooked—the radiator.When a generator set overheats, the consequences range from reduced power output to cylinder scoring, shutdown, or even complete engine failure.
