Abstract An acoustical enclosure for a marine engine gener- ator set includes a squirrel cage fan powered mechanically by the engine and mounted over a large opening in an end of the enclosure. Air inlets are provided to admit external air into the enclosure. A large air flow results, allowing the generator to be operated at full capacity, even at elevated ambient temperatures. Noise is prevented from es- caping out of the opening in the end of the enclosure by having the fan placed directly over the opening, where the solid plate of the squirrel cage fan reflects a portion of the noise back into the enclosure where it is absorbed by sound absorbing material lining the inside of the enclosure. A fan duct surrounds the fan and a cover is placed over the duct. The cover is also lined with sound absorbing mate- rial to further attenuate any noise not reflected back by the fan.
