Classification of HFO Generator Sets For Power Plant Use With Huge Power And Low Fuel Cost
HFO Generator Sets refer to power generation devices that utilize Heavy Fuel Oil as the primary fuel to drive alternators with internal combustion engines as prime movers, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. They have the capability to burn Heavy Fuel Oil, Diesel oil, Tire pyrolysis oil, etc. Typically, Heavy oil generator sets are medium and low-speed types. Their advantages include low operating costs, high reliability, long service life, suitability for continuous operation, rapid return on investment, and minimal noise. However, the initial investment is relatively high. Heavy oil generator sets are the optimal choice for large industrial and mining enterprises as well as regional power supplies requiring uninterrupted power.
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is the residual heavy oil remaining after gasoline and diesel oil extraction from crude oil, also known as “residual fuel oil.” It possesses characteristics such as a large molecular weight and high viscosity. Due to its semi-fluid consistency, HFO requires preheating to make it combustible in engines.
Classification of HFO Generator Sets:
1. According to usage, HFO generator sets can be categorized into Standard HFO generator sets and Containerized HFO generator sets.
2. According to the operating environment, HFO generator sets can be classified into Stationary HFO generator sets and Marine HFO generator sets.
3. According to engine speed, HFO generator sets can be classified into medium-speed HFO generator sets (speed ≥1000 r/min) and low-speed HFO generator sets (speed less than 400 r/min).
