- For complex machinery, production lines, or electrical systems, we can send engineers to your site to handle unloading guidance, mechanical/electrical installation, alignment, wiring check, and first-run commissioning.
- Installation supervision
- Mechanical & electrical connection guidance
- Calibration and parameter setting
- Trial run and performance testing
- Operator training (basic operation & daily maintenance)
- Civil works, foundation construction, crane rental
- Local labor, scaffolding, power supply beyond equipment interface
- Long-term resident engineers (available on monthly basis if required)
Supervision & Commissioning Service, covering:
- Round-trip air tickets
- Visa & local transportation
- Accommodation (or client provides)
- Daily service fee (USD/day)
- Machine model / project scale
- Destination country & site readiness (power, foundation, local labor)
- Whether you prefer full on-site service or remote guidance only
✅ In short: Yes, on-site installation & commissioning is available for qualified equipment. It is optional and quotable separately under FOB/CIF, or bundled into turnkey/DDP projects upon request.
- 10 kW set: ~2.6 – 3.2 L/h at full load
- 50 kW set: ~13 – 16 L/h at full load
- 100 kW set: ~25 – 31 L/h at full load
- 200 kW set: ~50 – 62 L/h at full load
- 500 kW set: ~125 – 155 L/h at full load
- 1000 kW set: ~250 – 310 L/h at full load
- 25% load: ~0.30 L/kW·h equivalent (high specific consumption)
- 50% load: ~0.27 L/kW·h
- 75% load: ~0.25 L/kW·h
- 100% load: ~0.25 – 0.32 L/kW·h depending on engine
- Engine tech: Electronic injection < mechanical injection
- Altitude & ambient temp: High altitude or >40°C reduces air density, raises fuel use
- Maintenance status: Clogged filters, bad injectors increase burn by 5%–15%
- Fuel quality: Low calorific value diesel raises L/h
- Governor type: Electronic governor stabilizes consumption better
- Genset model & prime/standby power
- L/h at 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% load
- Tank capacity & estimated run time at full load
- Optional enlarged base tank or external daily tank sizing
- Required kW / kVA (prime or standby?)
- Expected average load percentage in your application
- Daily running hours (continuous / emergency only)
- Diesel grade used locally
✅ In short: Fuel use is model-specific, but you can expect about 0.25–0.32 liters per kWh at full load, lower per-kWh at 70–80% load. We provide a load-based consumption table with every offer so you can calculate running cost before purchase.
