What is the hourly fuel consumption of a Caterpillar 320c?
1 Answers
Average fuel consumption is 16.44 liters. Engine idling: Prolonged idling refers to the state when the engine is running without load, meaning the excavator is not performing any work while the engine keeps running. In daily excavator operations, many construction site equipment have idling times as high as 40%-50%. Equipment warm-up: Users can reduce the idling time before shutdown. Newer engines do not require idling, while some older models may need 2 minutes of idling. During loading/unloading operations, if trucks have to wait for more than 5 minutes, please shut down the engine. Before starting work each day, warming up the equipment for 3-5 minutes is sufficient; excessive warm-up time is unnecessary. If the engine is equipped with an idle shutdown system (which automatically turns off the engine after a preset idle time set by the operator), please enable this function.
