1 horsepower is approximately 0.746 kW (kilowatt, what we call “degree”). If multiplied by a conversion efficiency of 80-90%, your diesel engine can achieve 18X0.746X0.8 =. 10.74 KW, that is, it can drive about 11 KW generator, so the submersible pump you choose only needs to be less than 11 KW.
< p>However, according to the actual situation, you do not need such high power. -electric water pump, you can go to the market. Come up and take a look. I think a 3 kW submersible pump is enough for you in principle: lift 10 m, the volume of water can be large or small.Starting general electrical equipment The current is approximately 3 times the rated current. A 16.5 kW generator is required to start a 5.5 kW water pump. If it is too small, the generator will be overloaded. when starting and the diesel engine will emit black smoke.
GenUsually the power coefficient of diesel generators is 0.8 (this is not necessarily true), that is to say a 100 kW diesel generator is actually 80 kW, so your generator must be at least a 20 kW generator, preferably 20 kW. The above are typically 24kW and are also driven by single-cylinder diesel engines.
I hope you will adopt it
