An Exhaust Stack is the vertical duct that discharges a generator engine's exhaust gases to atmosphere at a height and velocity that promote dispersion. Its design manages back-pressure, noise, heat and emissions, and its height and location are set to meet air-quality, planning and safety requirements while keeping fumes clear of air intakes and occupied areas.
