How To Calculate The Fuel Consumption Of A Diesel Generator

Apr 09, 2024 Leave a message

Now the price of diesel is also rising, so when we use diesel generators, we must also want to know what its fuel consumption is, to calculate reasonable consumption, so the consumption of diesel generators is mainly related to two factors, one is the fuel consumption rate, and the size of the electric load. Knowing these two data, then you can roughly calculate the fuel consumption of diesel generators.

 

Instructions for Conversion of Fuel Consumption Calculation Units for Small Diesel Generators:

1L (L) = 1000ML (ml)

1L (L) = 1L

1KW (kW) = 1000W (watt)

1KG (kg) = 1000G (g) = 1L (liter)

1G (g) = 0.001L (L)

Note: Under the premise of the same specific gravity, the specific gravity of water and diesel is about 1:0.84-0.86, so one liter of diesel is equal to 0.84-0.86 kg, 1L = about 0.85KG.

 

Since the fuel consumption rate of each brand of diesel generator is different, we have to look at the actual situation, in addition to the size of the electric load, to put it bluntly, the load is large, the throttle is large, the fuel consumption is larger, and the load is smaller, and the relative fuel consumption is small, which is also very related. Generally, manufacturers use G/KW. H, which means how many grams of oil is consumed per kilowatt per hour, and then how many liters you convert this unit to, you can immediately know how many liters of oil you consume.
