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.


This could easily be read entirely differently from what I meant. By
"it" I mean, other air circulation equipment. How is other air
circulation equipment necessary to exhaust the car's poisonous exhoust
gases?

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.
