These clean and powerful diesel engines are specially designed to be effective over thousands of hours before any service or maintenance is required. If you are going to buy a Caterpillar generator, then you should know some facts about the diesel engine\u2019s working mechanisms, fuel line composition and fuel consumption rate.<\/p>\n<p>A high-quality diesel engine requires three major components to run smoothly: airflow, good fuel, and a strong ignition source. Now, we are going to elaborate on the generator\u2019s important working systems like the ever important <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micoequipment.com\"><strong>Caterpillar generator fuel consumption<\/strong><\/a>, basic fuel line needs, fuel cooling system and fuel flow system.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel line composition: The machine\u2019s diesel fuel has a turbulent relationship with copper. The diesel reacts with the copper and causes solid black deposits in the structure which separates and blocks the fuel line. The brass fitting system tends to \u201cbleed\u201d when good-quality diesel fuel is passed through them. However, it is good to avoid any use of brass or copper materials in the generator\u2019s fuel lines for supplying the fuel into the engine. This is why Caterpillar uses black iron pipes for the generator\u2019s diesel fuel lines with solid steel braided flex lines. The diesel runs through these iron pipelines and goes into the engine and permits smooth engine movement during operation.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel consumption rate: A typical Caterpillar diesel engine uses approximately 7% of its rated kW of diesel fuel in gallons per hour when at maximum capacity. Caterpillar fuel consumption rate is generally higher than all the other construction companies\u2019 engine\u2019s fuel consumption rate.<br \/>\nFuel types: Most diesel engines run only on diesel, but Caterpillar\u2019s generator engine can easily operate on different types of fuel like diesel, petroleum and gas.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel flow system: All fuel flow lines should be sized accordingly to permit free flow at all points. Caterpillar\u2019s generator unit consumes 100 gallons of fuel per hour at high loads from the supply tank and returns around 200 gallons.This graph indicates that the fuel flow system of a caterpillar generator is best.Consult your generator dealer for the basic head pressure settings and requirements depending on the equipment\u2019s application.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel cooling system: Remember that the returnbringsintense heat from the internal fuel system. The hot fuel will decrease the engine\u2019s power capability. Therefore, the Caterpillar generator\u2019s supply and return fuel cooler fittings are completely separated from each other so the heat can easily cool before returning to the tank.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the above user-friendly features, Caterpillar generators are famous among all large and small construction vendors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Caterpillar Construction Company is famous for manufacturing some of the finest power generators and heavy industrial engines in today\u2019s market.
