Abstract
An engine operated machine system includes an engine, a working machine driven by the engine, and a waste-heat recovery unit for recovering the waste heat of the engine, each being accommodated in a box-shaped case. The case is provided with a partition wall which partitions the inside of the case into working-machine accommodating and electrical-equipment accommodating chambers, and which has a draft bore connecting the working-machine accommodating chamber to the electrical-equipment accommodating chamber. The case is also provided with a cooling-air intake port connecting the electrical-equipment accommodating chamber to the outside, a discharge port forcibly discharging, to the outside, air discharged from the working-machine accommodating chamber by an engine-driven fan, and an assist fan disposed in the draft bore and adapted to be operated, in response to the temperature in the working-machine accommodating chamber exceeding a predetermined value, to feed the air in the electrical-equipment accommodating chamber into the working-machine accommodating chamber.
