IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:-
1. theoretically---
For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load.
for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load)
(20x0.75)x232
therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr
0.85x1000
here 0.75 is for 75% load
0.85 is density of diesel
1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres
consumtpn
You can calculate fuel consumption per Kilowatt hour in diesel engine by multiplying the miles per gallon by the wattage per hour that the engine runs. This gives the net Kilowatt hour fuel consumption.
The consumption of lubricating oil for a diesel engine depends on the operating conditions and the design of the engine. There are some averages depending on the year of the engine. Pre 1980's engine are around 25% of fuel consumption. Pre 1990 engines are around 20% of fuel consumption and more recently built diesel engines are around 1% of fuel consumption.
is the fuel consume by the the engine
Diesel Engine SFC is Specific Fuel Consumption of Diesel Engine. This used to know how efficient Fuel utilization of Diesel Engine to produce electricity. Usually formula of SFC is Fuel Consumption divided by Electricity Production (liter/kWh).
1hrs diesel consumption with out load
There are several causes for high fuel consumption in a diesel engine. These include a difference in the weight of the vehicle, increased usage of air conditioning, and a difference in tire pressure.
Depends entirely on the load being applied to the engine.
The fuel consumption of the Perkins diesel engine 1106D typically ranges from 180 to 220 grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh) under full load conditions. However, actual fuel consumption can vary based on specific application, load, and operating conditions. For precise figures, it's advisable to consult the engine's technical manual or manufacturer specifications.
You'd be lucky to get 30mpg tops
To calculate brake horsepower (BHP) for a diesel generator, you can use the formula: BHP = (Torque × RPM) / 5252, where Torque is measured in pound-feet (lb-ft) and RPM is the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Alternatively, you can estimate BHP using the generator's fuel consumption rate, where BHP can be approximated by dividing the fuel flow rate (in gallons per hour) by the specific fuel consumption (SFC) in gallons per BHP-hour. This gives you a measure of the engine's output power based on its efficiency and operational characteristics.
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
