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 bi-fold type 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 following standard features are included with the basic enclosure:

•Inlet and exhaust ventilation silencers
