Remote Radiator For Guascor HGM240 Gas Generator
VRCOOLER designs and manufactures custom remote radiator systems for gas generator cooling, including the Guascor HGM240 series. This remote radiator provides an efficient and reliable cooling solution for the generator's jacket water and auxiliary circuits, ensuring stable operation even in demanding ambient conditions.
Unlike standard engine-mounted radiators, the remote type is installed away from the generator set-usually outdoors or on a rooftop-to dissipate heat using forced air flow. This arrangement keeps the generator room cooler, reduces noise, and allows for greater layout flexibility.
Working Principle
The remote radiator is an air-cooled heat exchanger equipped with axial fans.
Hot coolant from the generator's engine circulates through finned tubes inside the radiator.
Fans draw ambient air across the fins, transferring heat from the coolant to the air.
Cooled fluid then returns to the engine jacket, completing a closed-loop system.
For large-capacity gas generators such as the Guascor HGM240, the radiator is designed with multiple sections and high-efficiency fans to handle substantial heat rejection while maintaining low noise and low power consumption.
