According to the purpose and characteristics of the diesel engine, 1-2 of the following four powers need to be indicated on the engine nameplate of the diesel generator set.
1. 15-minute power: suitable for situations where short-term good overload and acceleration performance are required, such as cars, motorboats, etc.;
2. 1-hour power: suitable for machinery that needs a certain power reserve to overcome sudden load increases, such as wheeled tractors, locomotives, ships, etc.;
3. 12-hour power: suitable for machinery that needs to operate continuously within 12 hours and give full play to the power of the diesel engine, such as agricultural irrigation and drainage machinery, locomotives, construction machinery, tractors, etc.;
4. Continuous power: suitable for equipment that needs to operate continuously for a long time, such as agricultural irrigation and drainage machinery, ships, power stations, etc.
Therefore, the same diesel engine should work at different powers according to its purpose and conditions of use.
