Why Reducing Diesel Generator Speed Cannot Save Fuel

With the soaring oil prices, many users of diesel and engine oil hope to control their usage costs. For example, users of diesel generators have wondered how to reduce fuel consumption to lower the operating costs of diesel generators. Some users have thus proposed suggestions such as operating diesel generators at low speeds to save fuel consumption. Dingbo Power, a professional generator supplier, tells you the truth: this approach not only fails to save fuel consumption but also causes various faults in diesel generator sets. Specifically, operating at a load below the rated speed may result in the following negative impacts:

1.Low speed of the diesel generator will reduce the output power and operational performance of the unit.

2.Excessively low unit speed will lead to a decrease in the operating speed of various components, thereby reducing their working performance and lowering the output pressure of the oil pump.

3.It will reduce the standby power of the unit, causing the unit that should operate normally to be in a full-load or overload operation state.

4.If the generator speed is too low, the mechanical operating speed will also decrease, which will reduce the mechanical working performance. For instance, it will reduce the water delivery volume of the water pump and lower the pump head.

According to the analysis summarized by Dingbo Power, the method of reducing speed to save fuel and money is harmful and has no benefits. Because diesel generator sets have a reasonable working principle for normal operation. For example, there are clearly specified speed requirements for generator sets, with only two types: 50Hz and 60Hz. Artificially adjusting the speed of diesel generator sets lower or higher is incorrect. Only by operating in accordance with its principle can we reduce faults and extend the service life of our generators.

Therefore, Dingbo Power generator manufacturer warmly reminds: all diesel generator set operators must strictly follow the operation manual during use and must not artificially adjust the various parameters of the generator set.
