1 Answers
30 kW diesel generator consumes 11.77 liters of diesel per hour. Below are the relevant details: Calculation principle: A 30 kW diesel generator is generally equipped with a 38-40 kW diesel engine. Based on a fuel consumption rate of 260 grams per kilowatt-hour, the calculation is as follows: 38 × 260 = 9880 grams = 9.88 kg. The specific gravity of diesel is 0.84 kg/liter, so under full load, the hourly diesel consumption in liters is 9.88/0.84 = 11.77 liters. Diesel generator: A diesel generator is a small-scale power generation device that uses diesel as fuel and a diesel engine as the prime mover to drive the generator. The complete set usually consists of components such as the diesel engine, generator, control panel, fuel tank, starting and control battery, protection devices, and emergency cabinet.
