What factors are related to the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets?

Diesel generator set is an internal combustion engine that converts chemical fuel diesel into mechanical energy. In the use of diesel generator sets, the user is most concerned about the fuel consumption of the generator set, which is directly related to the operating cost of the diesel generator set.

Diesel generator sets

 

 

       Diesel generator set is an internal combustion engine that converts chemical fuel diesel into mechanical energy. With the development of science and technology, the technology of diesel generator sets has also changed from the original traditional compression ignition diesel generator to the supercharged direct injection diesel generator, and then to the electronically controlled high-pressure common rail diesel generator, realizing efficient technological innovation, diesel generator The overall performance and power of the generator set have been greatly improved, bringing huge power support to the power machinery industry. In the use of diesel generator sets, the user is most concerned about the fuel consumption of the generator set, which is directly related to the operating cost of the diesel generator set. Then this article will analyze for you, what factors are related to the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets?

 

       Generally speaking, the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets is mainly related to two aspects, one is the fuel consumption rate of the unit itself, and the other is the size of the load. Many users unilaterally believe that the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets is proportional to the load, that is, the greater the load, the greater the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets. Is this really the case?

 

       Here, Dingbo Electric Co., Ltd. will provide a useful little knowledge for the majority of users, that is, when the diesel generator set is at 80% load, the fuel consumption is the lowest. If the load of the diesel generator set is 80% of the rated load, one liter of oil will generate 3.5 kWh of electricity; if the load increases, the fuel consumption will increase, which is often said that the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets is proportional to the load. However, when the load is lower than 20%, it will have an impact on the diesel generator set, not only the fuel consumption of the generator set will be greatly increased, but also the generator set will be damaged.

 

       General users think that the diesel generator sets of the same brand and the same model will consume more fuel when the load is larger, and vice versa. The view that the load is proportional is not absolute. To reduce the fuel consumption of the generator set, the generator set can be operated at about 80% of the rated load. Long-term low-load operation will increase fuel consumption and even damage the generator set.
