What is the hourly fuel consumption of a 500kw diesel generator?
1 Answers
131.20 liters per hour. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: Fuel consumption is generally related to two factors: the generator's own fuel consumption rate and the size of the load. Notes: In general, under 80% load, fuel consumption is lower. When the load on the diesel generator is 80% of the rated load, one liter of fuel generates 3.5 kWh of electricity. If the load increases, fuel consumption will rise, which is why it is often said that the fuel consumption of a generator is directly proportional to the load. However, if the load is below 20%, it can affect the generator, not only significantly increasing fuel consumption but also potentially damaging the generator.
