How Long Can the Diesel Generators Work Continuously

Some industries cannot afford power outages. Industrial Diesel generator is the savior of its operation. Diesel generator sets are widely used in telecommunications, banks, hospitals, aviation, factories, mines, railways and other fields. How long can the Diesel generators work continuously? Below is a detailed introduction from Dingbo Power.

Before we learn how long the diesel generator set can run continuously, we should first understand the common power and standby power of the diesel generator set.

Prime power: the power value that can be reached by the diesel generator set in 12 hours of continuous operation.

Standby power: The highest power value reached within 12 hours.

There is an example for you by Dingbo Power, If you buy a diesel generator set with a prime power of 150kw, the power for 12 hours operation is 150kw, and the standby power may reach 180kw. However, if you buy a standby 150kw diesel generator set, its main power may only be about 120kw. The service life of the diesel generator set is greatly shortened because the diesel generator set is small and large, which is very prone to failure. Generally speaking, when buying a diesel generator set, buy the big one rather than the small one. Add about 10% of the actual electricity consumption and choose a better power. The good economic operation condition of the diesel generator set is between 75% -90% of the rated power.

How long can the Diesel generator work continuously? If the load power is equal to the 12 hour power of the generator set, it must be stopped after continuous operation for 12 hours. If the load power is 80% of the 12 hour power, it can usually operate continuously without time limitations. As long as you pay attention to the adequacy and temperature of diesel, engine oil, and coolant, it is best to stop after 48 hours. If the load power is the engine's one hour power, it can be within one hour. If it is higher than this time period, it is not allowed to stop. Otherwise, the generator set will malfunction due to overload. Therefore, the diesel generator set should be bought big rather than small. The power and standby power of the diesel generator set are greater than the prime power.

How long can the Diesel generator work continuously? In general, 50 hours after the first operation of the diesel generator set, or 50 hours after the intermediate repair or overhaul, the oil and oil filter need to be changed at the same time. The general oil change cycle is 250 hours. However, the usage time can be appropriately extended or shortened based on the actual use of the equipment (whether it is deflated, whether the lubricating oil is clean, and the load size).
