    Diesel gen fuel consumption vs KW and KVA

    waross, thanks. I have looked at a bunch of fuel/load curves but none of the mfrs has more than one curve at the standard 0.8 PF. I'd like to get a performance graph with a curve for, say, 0.6 PF, 0.7 PF, as well as for 0.8, so I can look at the change in fuel with PF, even if small. I am in a...

    Diesel gen fuel consumption vs KW and KVA

    I'm new here but read through thread238-35570 with input from bigamp and others. The thread was about improving power factor in diesel generator-powered elec systems and how an improved PF does not significantly change fuel consumption, if KW output is constant. I'd like to get a publication or...
