12.1 General Description
The enclosure housing (Figure 20) is a completely self-contained, weatherproof,
insulated, and sound-attenuated system. The enclosure is mounted on the package skid
and supported by a heavy-duty frame. The enclosure sides include removable panels
and/or doors to allow access to major components for inspection and maintenance and to
permit removal of components by forklift or overhead crane. The engine area is furnished
with full height doors to facilitate engine removal from either side of the package. All
enclosure doors include a three-point heavy-duty door locking mechanism, handles,
hinges, latching mechanism, internal lock override release, restraining device, and
attaching hardware.
The enclosure panels are treated with fiberglass material for sound attenuation and
thermal insulation. Weather stripping is installed between all panels for sealing and sound
attenuation. The enclosure is normally factory assembled on the package skid prior to
shipment, but can be shipped as a kit for site assembly and installation. The following
standard features are included with the basic enclosure:
• Inlet and exhaust ventilation silencers
• Single fan ventilation system
• Pressurization system
• AC lighting
• Equipment handling system
• Stainless steel door hardware
