1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

What's cool about those Barto is they're fully rebuildable. Parts galore too being military

 

Onan is a good brand. I’d totally rock one. Just realized the noise would be a issue though.

 

I can hear the sound of Tyler going out to get the sandblaster ready from here

 

My favorite part is that it can do three phase. I can run ALL the shop equipment!

 

Only if you run the loudest compressor in history, and can pay to keep it filled with diesel as it sucks it down

 

You could surround it with panels of something or put in a shed, etc to help muffle but not sure how much it'd work. Might be surprising

 

I know where I'm bugging out to when the zombie apocalypse happens........right Barto?

 

I think you'd be fighting heat then. One compressor at my work makes a room the size of my garage uncomfortable. Can't imagine a big diesel running in it.

 

What you need is a rotary phase converter.

 

Yeah and I'm just guessing, haven't been close to one. No experience with anything that size

 

My portable gen set on wheels. Top and sides are hinged and fold down while running.

 

Yeah they get toasty haha. We built a new compressor shed at work this summer and the new compressor that went in it allows for ducting to be ran out of the exhaust. All the hot air is blown outside now. Its actually quite comfortable in there now. And Ive got quite the heater to stand under in the winter time...

 

I wish ours blew into a place where you could stand near it. We have sort of a ghetto system, it's just an outlet that is switched by a thermostat to turn on an exhaust fan. Doesn't blow anywhere useful though and I'm not even sure where fresh air can come in from.

 

They build these special sound deadimg walls around the racks and rtus on building in residential areas to help kill the sound. It works okey

 

Elevator rooms get super hot. Just had to install a mini split in one to keep it cold so they could run the elevators

 

I believe it, those huge HV breakers and massive electric motors probably get real toasty. We had to have a couple mini split systems in our server room at my high school back in the day.

 

@04Pre_Runner has one set up, haven’t heard if he got it working.

 

I’d need like a crane or a forklift to move it too. That thing has to weigh at least a ton.

 

That's only 2000lbs, I bet it's a few tons

 

What I really want is that Generac standby generator @Empty_Lord has. It does 20kW on natural gas. They’re expensive though.
