Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

(OP)
Hello all,
I need information on the fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel sets with the following ratings: 320kVA, 500kVA, 590kVA, 725kVA, 800kVA and 1000kVA. Any other information on their operating characteristics will be appreciated.
Thanks.

RE: Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

This information is on their website.  The data sheets can be downloaded.  

RE: Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

In order to find fuel consumption you will need to supply the KW ratings of the engines you need.  You should be able to visit the Cat website, this can direct you to your local Cat dealer that should be happy to answer your questions.

RE: Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

Very rough rule of thumb for larger (>500kW) units - 0.06 gal/hr/kw.
