Fuel Consumption Formula

The standard formula for estimating diesel consumption:

Consumption (L/h) = Generator kVA × 0.8 (PF) × Load % × 0.25 L/kWh

các 0.25 L/kWh factor is approximate for modern diesel Máy phát điện Tại 75% trọng tải. Actual consumption varies by engine brand, tuổi, và điều kiện hoạt động.

kVA Rating	25% Trọng tải	50% Trọng tải	75% Trọng tải	100% Trọng tải
100 kVA	5.0 L/h	10.0 L/h	15.0 L/h	20.0 L/h
250 kVA	12.5 L/h	25.0 L/h	37.5 L/h	50.0 L/h
500 kVA	25 L/h	50 L/h	75 L/h	100 L/h
1000 kVA	50 L/h	100 L/h	150 L/h	200 L/h
2000 kVA	100 L/h	200 L/h	300 L/h	400 L/h

What Affects Fuel Consumption

Mức tải — Generators are most efficient at 70-80% trọng tải
Engine Make — Cummins and MTU typically achieve 5-10% better fuel economy than budget brands
nhiệt độ môi trường xung quanh — Cold starts increase Tiêu thụ nhiên liệu
Độ cao — Above 1000m, engines consume more fuel per kWh due to derating
BẢO TRÌ — Clogged filters increase consumption by 3-5%
