Fellow wrenches,
Anyone have some information, perhaps a spreadsheet, showing the cost to
operate a generator?
How many hours should one expect a water-cooled propane generator to
operate before overhaul or retirement? 25,000?
How many hours should one expect a water-cooled diesel generator to
I do not have a lot of experiance but for back up commerical generatoers,
but on smaller generators, 5 to 10 kW top end overhaul 1000 hours max, total
3000 hours
Medium size 50 to 150 kW top end 2000 hours total overhaul 8 to 10,000 hours.
Big engines 4 to 5000 hrs for top end and bottom end up
8 matches
