Fuel consumption per hour for CAT diesel generators

[kokonut]

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.

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

Suggestion: Visit for example

http://www.cat.com/products/engines_n_power_systems/spec_sheet_library/EPG/pdf/LEHE1431.pdf

for the standard kVA genset size of 350kVA
Then, use wizard

http://vidswizard.catmms.com/catwizards/vidswizard/jsp/wizard.jsp?Language_id=en

to obtain 100% load with fan consumption 26.1 gal/hr
Similarly for the other (maybe approximate) sizes.

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.

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