What is the fuel consumption of Weichai 430 horsepower at idle for one hour?
2 Answers
Weichai 430 horsepower consumes approximately 150 to 200 units of fuel at idle for one hour. The following is a related introduction to Weichai 430: 1. Introduction: Weichai Power Co., Ltd. operates in the design, development, production, sales, maintenance, import and export of internal combustion engines, hydraulic products, new energy powertrain systems, and supporting products. 2. Company Overview: The company has a cluster of subsidiaries consisting of 40 high-quality enterprises, including Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Fast Gear Co., Ltd., Zhuzhou Torch Spark Plug Co., Ltd., Mudanjiang Futong Automotive Air Conditioning Co., Ltd., and others.
I've done some specific research on the idling fuel consumption of the Weichai 430 horsepower engine. With the air conditioning on at idle, it consumes about 6 to 9 liters of fuel per hour, and in winter, it can even reach around 10 liters. It's important to note that idling a diesel engine is no joke, especially for heavy-duty trucks with large displacements and unstable RPMs. I'd advise drivers to avoid prolonged idling whenever possible. If you really need to take a break in the summer, consider using a portable air conditioner instead—it saves fuel and reduces carbon buildup. A friend recently tested his Delong X5000, and the dashboard showed 7.8 liters per hour with the air conditioning on full blast, which aligns well with the theoretical values mentioned by engineers.
