How to Choose the Suitable Diesel Generator Set?

One of the most crucial indicators of a diesel generator set is fuel consumption. So, how much diesel does a diesel generator set consume in a day?

The full-load fuel consumption of domestic diesel engines typically ranges from 210g/kw.h to 240g/kw.h. Don't underestimate the 30-gram difference in diesel consumption per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated. Take a 50KW diesel generator set as an example, operating for 10 hours a day.

The daily fuel consumption of a generator set equipped with Brand A domestic diesel engine is: 210g/kw.h * 50kw * 10 hours = 105Kg.

The daily fuel consumption of a generator set equipped with Brand B domestic diesel engine is: 240g/kw.h * 50kw * 10 hours = 120Kg.

The difference between the two is 15Kg per day. At a diesel price of 8 yuan per kilogram, 120 yuan can be saved on diesel fuel every day.

Calculated based on 20 operating days per month, the annual savings (over 12 months) would be: 120 yuan/day * 20 days * 12 months = 28,800 yuan.

It's truly eye-opening when you do the math. Over five years, the savings can even be enough to buy a new diesel generator set! For the same 50KW diesel generator set, choosing different diesel engines can lead to such a significant difference!

So, how to configure a suitable diesel generator? Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer will teach you how to select the right diesel generator set for yourself.

1.Determine whether a mobile generator set, a mobile silent generator, or a container-type generator set is needed.

2.Choose between fully automatic, manual, or semi-automatic diesel generator sets.

3.Decide whether an automatic transfer switch (ATS) cabinet is required for automatic switching.

4.Confirm the required power output of the generator set. Currently, Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer offers generator sets with a power range of 30-3000kw for selection.

5.Select between a chassis-mounted fuel tank or an independent fuel tank.

6.In backup power systems, a floating charge power supply is an optional configuration and is not included in the standard configuration.
