If the generator is to maintain the same rpm and power output, then a heavier load will increase the diesel consumption. The revolutions per minute the generator runs will increase as the load increases, thereby resulting in an increase in diesel consumption to maintain the high rpm. A Generator has a governor which attempts to maintain frequency at 60 Hz for North America. For the generator to increase the power output at the same frequency, the governor will increase the fuel and air to the engine. The fuel consumption will not be linear because of the curves associated with the particular engine. The fuel to KWH is know as the heat rate curve for the generator.
To know how much fuel a 250KVA diesel generator uses per hour, referring to the operator's manual is all that is needed. It states that properly maintained diesel generators of this size average a fuel consumption of 21 gallons per hour.
with decrease in fuel consumption the amount of steam produced is also reduced.Hence when lower quantity of steam passes through the turbine the torque generated is less and since generator and turbine are coupled on a single shaft the generator torque also decrease which reduces load.
The Perkins 100 KVA generator uses approximately 23.8 Liters per hour. The Perkins KVA generator can be purchased at any Perkins licensed dealer.
Here is the formula, Per hour consumption = Diesel consumed / Total DG run hours Diesel consumed = Previous closing balance - Actual closing balace Daily DG run hours = (Total DG run hours / (DG capacity*24 - Total DG run hours)) * 24 / (( Total DG run hours / ( DG capacity * 24 - Total DG run hours )) + 1 Regards, Shibin shibin.hesel@gmail.com
1hrs diesel consumption with out load
0.3 l/kwh
300 kw power generate and fuel consumption
The fuel usage will be based on the load applied to the generator and how many KW the generator outputs. The more load the higher the fuel consumption. You do not list the output of the generator nor the load so all I do is point you to the diesel fuel generator consumption chart. Click the link to see the chart where you can figure it yourself.

The amount of diesel used in a diesel-powered generator depends on several factors including the generator's power output, fuel efficiency, and the duration of operation. Diesel generators typically have a fuel consumption rate measured in liters per hour (L/h) or gallons per hour (gal/h).To determine the specific amount of diesel used, you would need to know the generator's fuel consumption rate. This information can usually be found in the generator's specifications or user manual. For example, a small diesel generator with a 5-liter/hour fuel consumption rate would use 5 liters of diesel per hour of operation.
The cost of running a diesel generator can vary depending on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the generator, the price of diesel fuel, and the duration and frequency of usage. On average, diesel generators consume about 0.5 to 1 gallon of diesel fuel per hour for every kilowatt (kW) of power produced. To calculate the cost, you would need to know the current price of diesel fuel, the generator's fuel consumption rate, and the number of hours the generator will be running. By multiplying these factors together, you can determine the approximate cost of running a diesel generator.
Dear Friends I'm also searching for this. How can i give the answer to you?
Diesel generator are generator that uses diesel. having the ability to withstand corrosive particles in fuel(diesel).
It's abaout 100 - 120 liter/hour, depend on load and efficiency characteristic of engine.
