Fuel consumption is an issue that everyone is very concerned about. Fuel consumption involves usage costs and so on. So how much fuel does a diesel generator consume per hour? This blog will teach you how to calculate the fuel consumption of diesel generator sets.
The fuel consumption of the generator set is related to the following two factors:
1. Fuel consumption rate. Different brands of generator sets have different fuel consumption rates and different fuel consumption;
2. The size of the electric load, the fuel consumption will be higher if the load is large, and the fuel consumption will be relatively small if the load is small.
In order to facilitate everyone to understand the approximate fuel consumption of the generator set and calculate the cost of using the generator set; World Wide Web will calculate the approximate reference value (30kw-500kw) for you.
| Approximate Diesel Fuel Consumption Chart | ||
| Generator Size (kW) | kg/h | L/h |
| 30kw | 6.3 kilograms | 7.8 liters |
| 45kw | 9.45 kilograms | 11.84 liters |
| 50kw | 10.5 kilograms | 13.1 liters |
| 75kw | 15.7 kilograms | 19.7 liters |
| 100kw | 21 kilograms | 26.25 liters |
| 150kw | 31.5 kilograms | 39.4 liters |
| 200kw | 40 kilograms | 50 liters |
| 250kw | 52.5 kilograms | 65.6 liters |
| 300kw | 63 kilograms | 78.75 liters |
| 350kw | 73.5 kilograms | 91.8 liters |
| 400kw | 84.00 kilograms | 105.00 liters |
| 450kw | 94.50 kilograms | 118.00 liters |
| 500kw | 105.00 kilograms | 131.20 liters |
The above are only estimates and are for reference only.
The specific calculation method of fuel consumption of diesel generators is as follows:
One liter of diesel is about 0.84-0.86 kilograms (1L=0.8-0.85KG).
Most generator manufacturers will use G/KW.H for the parameters used, which means how many grams (G) of oil the generator consumes per kilowatt hour, and then change the unit into liters (L) so that you can know your hourly Fuel cost.
