How to configure a suitable diesel generator set for the farm?

May 17, 2022
Generally, there are two types of equipment in the farm. One is the oxygen supply equipment in aquaculture, which generally needs to run for a long time, and the other is like a pulverizer, which is used for 1-2 hours a day. A very useful machine that lasts longer than a spare. Recommended generator sets for farms: Cummins brand generator sets.
 
The traditional aquaculture industry has gradually developed to a large scale. With the development of science and technology, problems in the process of aquaculture production have to be paid attention to, including the demand for power generation equipment. So how to configure a suitable diesel generator set for the farm to achieve the most cost-effective?
 
Generally, there are two types of equipment in the farm. One is the oxygen supply equipment in aquaculture, which generally needs to run for a long time, and the other is like a pulverizer, which is used for 1-2 hours a day. A very useful machine that lasts longer than a spare. How to choose the right power of diesel generator set?
 
The starting current of many electrical appliances is large, generally 2-3 times, so when the generator set is required to be matched, it should be more than 2 times or even 3 times (such as water pumps); for example: a 12kw pulverizer, then separate power generation When the unit is 2 times -2.5 times, it is recommended to choose a 30kw generator set.
 
Recommended power selection ratio: start separately according to the actual use situation, and then calculate the required power (kw) of the generator set; for example: the total load of the equipment in the farm is 53kw, and the largest load machines are 24kw, 12kw, 7.5 kw remaining others.
 
In fact, all the machines do not need to be started at the same time. Like the above example, you can start them individually. First start the 24kw machine, then start the 12kw machine, and finally start the 7.5kw machine. After the high-power machine is started, all the rest will be started, so that If so, the proportioning power of the unit is 75kw, which is enough.
 
Mechanized farming liberates manpower and improves work efficiency, but at the same time, it also increases the dependence on electricity. Therefore, farming enterprises must be fully prepared to ensure power supply. Diesel generator sets have become the best choice for breeding enterprises.
