The invention belongs to the technical field of generator sets and particularly discloses a vertical silent generator set. The vertical silent generator set comprises a silent cabinet, an air cooled engine and a generator, wherein the air cooled engine and the generator are arranged in the silent cabinet; the air cooled engine is dynamically connected with the generator through a main shaft on the air cooled engine. The vertical silent generator set is characterized in that the air cooled engine and the generator are respectively located in an upper cavity and a lower cavity in the silent cabinet, and moreover, the air cooled engine and the generator are respectively and vertically arranged; positions on the silent cabinet, which respectively correspond to cooling fins of the air cooled engine, are respectively provided with a first cooling air inlet; a position on the silent cabinet, which corresponds to a fan of the air cooled engine, is provided with a first heat dissipation air inlet; a position on the silent cabinet, which corresponds to the bottom part of the generator, is provided with a second cooling air inlet; and positions on the silent cabinet, which respectively correspond to turbo fans of the generator, are respectively provided with a second heat dissipation air inlet. The vertical silent generator set disclosed by the invention is simple in structure, and on the premise that the cost is reduced, the heat dissipation effect of the whole generator set is improved, and meanwhile, the installation space is saved.
