What is the fuel consumption of a diesel power generator?

Diesel generators provide a rapid response to restore power during distribution failures, making them essential for hospitals, supermarkets, industries, and events. Consumption varies with power output: a 157-170 kVA generator with a 290-liter tank operates for 6 continuous hours, consuming 40 liters of diesel per hour. Tecnogera offers generator rental with various power outputs to meet diverse energy needs.

Electricity is present in practically every moment of a person’s life, whether to ensure greater comfort and safety at home, to increase productivity in industries, or for the realization of fairs, corporate events, and shows. However, it may happen that the power distribution network presents failures, resulting in power outages and supply problems.

As a solution to these failures, the use of a diesel electric generator is recommended — equipment that provides a quick response and normalizes the power supply as soon as it is interrupted, avoiding accidents and complications for businesses, industries, condominiums, and any other environment that cannot go without power for long — such as hospitals and supermarkets.

Diesel generator consumption

There are electric generators of different power levels, each indicated for a specific segment and variable consumption level according to the model. A generator of 157 to 170 kVA with a 290-liter tank, for example, can work six uninterrupted hours, consuming 40 liters of diesel every sixty minutes.

It is worth noting that Tecnogera works precisely with the rental of diesel generators, offering a wide and diversified fleet to provide energy solutions to its clients. Check out the generator groups available for rent.
