Q:If it is not run continuosly in what intervals should it be stopped and what is the standstill time?

It is not good to run a Diesel generator throughout the year without stopping. It requires regular stopping for maintenance, at least once a week for cleaning or replacement of oil filters and replacement of parts.THE SHUTDOWN MAY LAST 8 OR !6 HOURS DEPENDING ON THE PARTS TO BE REPLACED.

Q:I heard about the reactor and could someone tell me the story and what could happen thx.

I really like how you spelled nuclear

Q:I want to ask that how much fuel does a diesel generator consume in one hour?How can I calculate the fuel consumption?

I'll tell ya how to operate one of those machines, you put some diesel in the tank till it started to overflow, you turn it on full blast so it is chugging and heaving away. when it starts sputterin and chokin put in some more diesel.

Q:I have put together a 4 cylinder peugeot diesel and an 8 kw alternator.At first it was direct coupled to run at 1500 rpm but didn't have enough grunt when i struck an arc with my mig welder. I then put in a lay shaft the engine runs at 2275rpm alternator at 1500rpm. same problem engine allmost stalls under heavy load. At this speed the engine is producing max torque 70 lb ft the alt should only need 33 lb ft. pls help

The alt is what RPM you will set the engine atMost 120-240 volt are 50 HRX and run at 1800or 3600 so if it's the 3600 back end your using the wrong engineUnless you use a pulley and belt to get the correct RPMMY 8K Diesel marine ONAN direct drive 3cyc runs at 1800 Rpm If your over loading the genset than no engine will workwhat is the load your pulling as 8K is 80 amps Max single 240V or 40 amp double 120V

Q:i got 390 TONS OF REFRIGERATION OF PU,TOTAL 16 NO,HOW MUCH KW OR KVA REQUIRED DISEL GENERATOR TO RUN THIS ,PACKAGED UNIT, TOTAL LOAD IS 390 TR, PLS CONVERT N TELL ME,N TAKING FACTOR OF SAFETY ALSO TELL ME THE KVA OF GENERATOR

normally diesel generators are not used to run refrigeration units because of the high starting current of compressor motors 390 tons equals 1370kwatts or 1.37mega watts taking 30% extra you get 1.78 megawatts a 2 mega watts diesel generator should be considered

Q:hi i have problem in my kipor diesel generator kde 6700ta 5kvathe problem is that when i start it then its voltage reduce from 230volts to 186 volts and so on what is the problem plz tell me i live in backward area here is no expert in these generators.

needs new brushes on commentator or commentator is dirty,

Q:I want to be able to plug my APC Smart-UPS RT 8000VA 208V into a diesel generator when our power will be down for an extended period of time. The max OUTPUT of the APC unit is 6400w. Does that mean I need at least a 6400w Generator?

If the unit is rated 8000 VA, and the output is 6400 W. that hints that the through-put efficiency is about 80%. You need a generator that will supply at least 125% of the load you apply to the UPS.

Q:I have a 33 feet sailboat. I will like to power it with a wind generator for all our needs, including a little fridge and an ac its possible? How powerful should it be? Where can I learn more about it?

My friend has a Westsail 32. He powers it with a AroGen 6 wind generator and two 125watt solar panels. So what does this power? 34 inch screen, with Satellite TV, laptop computer, mac mini computer, playstation 3, xBox, 32 inch monitor connect to a power mac tower with 4 very large hard drives busing all night long (Lol), LED through out the boat, stereo system, water maker, water pumps, and other miscellaneous stuff. Of course this equipment is not all on at one time but he has had it all turn on once before just to see if he could do it. What you need to have with the wind generator and solar panels is a large bank of batteries. Typically about 4 times the capacity of your daily consumption. The reason for this is to make your batteries last longer. Up to 7 years before you need to replace them. If you only have one bank you may need to replace them yearly. We did that and it get expensive. It's key to have at least 3 to 4 times the capacity. You'll also need an inverter. It take your DC batteries and creates AC for all your electronics. Yes you can by DC appliances and some of your navigation equipment will run on DC, but you'll find is cheaper to buy AC appliances and you'll also have more selection. He has a inverter with the brand name Outback which we found one of the best. It's pricey, but it has a built in computer that thinks about everything. It's great for when you forget to flip some damn switch, it will take steps to protect it's self and/or pull power from some other source. It even helps you make coffee in the morning. Please feel free to contact me if you need more information. Wind is an awesome power source and best of all it's completely free until the feds figure out a way to tax it. hahah Captain Jack

Q:If I have to put gasoline 8h/day on a 50 KW Generator, what would be the Cost per Kwh or the Annual Cost? Thanks!

50 Kilowatt Generator

Q:fuel oil operated generator (called also heavy oil) can be a dual fuel engine e.g. fuel oil w diesel backup.engine only or a generator set.generator 150~250 Kvaif engine only: 200~300 HPused in working condition

What the heck is the question?!
