What Is a Silent Diesel Generator?

Technical overview and key noise specifications.

A silent diesel generator (also called a soundproof generator or canopy generator) is a standard open-frame generator set enclosed within an acoustic steel canopy lined with sound-absorbing material. The enclosure reduces radiated noise from the engine, alternator and cooling fan to levels acceptable for residential and commercial environments.

Noise Level Standard	≤72 dB(A) at 7 metres (standard canopy)
Enhanced Low-Noise Option	≤65 dB(A) at 7 metres (super-silent canopy, available on request)
Power Range	10 kVA to 2,500 kVA
Canopy Material	Galvanised steel, powder-coated, 1.5–2mm thickness
Acoustic Lining	Fibre glass sound-absorbing panels, fire-retardant
Ventilation	Forced-air cooling with acoustic baffled inlet/outlet
Exhaust	Residential-grade silencer included, flexible connection
Access	Side doors for maintenance access both sides; lockable
Fuel Tank	Base fuel tank integrated (8–24 hr capacity); external day tank option
Colour Options	Standard RAL 7016 dark grey; custom colour on request
Standards	ISO 8528, CE EN 12100, BS 5514
Engine Options	All major brands: Cummins, Perkins, SDEC, Yuchai, Baudouin, MTU, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Doosan, Ricardo

Silent Generator FAQ

What is the noise level of a silent diesel generator?

Our standard silent type generators achieve ≤72 dB(A) at 7 metres, equivalent to the noise level of a vacuum cleaner. Enhanced super-silent models achieve ≤65 dB(A) — comparable to normal conversation. Noise level varies slightly by power rating and engine brand.

What is the difference between open type and silent type generators?

An open type generator has no enclosure — it is a bare engine and alternator on a steel frame. It is louder (85–95 dB), lower cost and easier to service. A silent type generator encloses the same engine in an acoustic canopy, reducing noise by 15–25 dB and protecting against weather, dust and unauthorised access. Silent type costs approximately 15–30% more than open type of the same kVA.

Can I upgrade an open type generator to a silent canopy later?

Yes, in most cases. Elitech Power can supply aftermarket silent canopies for standard generator frames. However, it is more cost-effective to specify the silent type at time of order, as retrofitting requires matching internal dimensions exactly.

Are your silent generators suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes. All our silent type canopies are weatherproof to IP23 minimum, with options for IP44 and IP54 for high-humidity coastal or tropical environments. Canopies include anti-corrosion powder coating and sealed cable entry points.
