How much fuel does a 460 diesel consume at idle for one hour?
1 Answers
For diesel engines, there is usually no such thing as idle speed. If you need to know the idle fuel consumption of a diesel engine, you can approximate it by checking its speed characteristic curve or load characteristic curve based on its idle speed value. Below is relevant information about diesel engine idling: 1. Definition of diesel engine idle speed: Diesel engine idle speed typically refers to the operating condition where the diesel engine runs without load. For automotive diesel engines, it refers to the engine speed in neutral gear. For diesel engines used in power generation, it usually refers to a certain no-load speed after startup, generally above 0.8 of its rated speed. 2. Recommendation: It is not recommended to idle for long periods while waiting, as it consumes a significant amount of fuel.
