With all due respect, I welded an exhaust extendion and placed it
through an airtight seal to the window.
Homemade welds and seals, sure, that's safe....
Have you ever been inside a commercial repair facility that pipes the
auto exhausts to the vehicles they are working on?
Which often have a good bit of OTHER air circulation equipment.
I don't see how that would make a difference. The engine sucks in
air and blows iit out the rear, and out the garage door through the
hose. How is any other air circuilation equipment necessary?
I mean:How is it necessary to exhaust the poisonous exhaust gases? In
a shop where they work on autos.
Because the generator produces other heat besides that which is
exhausted through the exhaust.
The equation roughly is
Generator power in kW = Exhaust heat carried = Cooling air warmed.
In other words, 33% of energy consumed (burned fuel) is electricity,
33% is exhaust heat, and 33% is cooling heat. It needs to be removed
from the garage. Percentages are approximate.
Heat may be bad at times, but it's not poisonous. The topic was CO
poisoning.
