thank you birdog. I see your way but i wonder how the some manufacture can calculate but we not?
How can they calculate the minimun and maximun fuel consumption?
The manufacturers take the fuel consumption at full load as recorded by their dynamometer when the engine is tested. This is equivalent to engine running at 100% all the time and is known as 100% Load Factor. Obviously machine engines do not run at full load constantly so the Load Factor in practice is always less than 100%. The manufacturers have experience from field studies (pretty much doing what the first person to respond to you said - it's no more scientific than that) of a range of load factors that result from different types of operation of any specific machine model. These are then grouped into 3 Load bands, Low, Medium, & High. For a dozer these bands would be: -
Low 35%-50% LF - Pulling scrapers, most agricultural drawbar, stockpile, coal pile and finish grade applications. No impact. Intermittent full throttle operation.
Medium 50%-65% LF - Production dozing in clays, sands, gravels. Push loading scrapers, borrow pit ripping, most land clearing applications. Medium impact conditions. Production landfill work.
High High 65%-80% LF - Heavy rock ripping. Push loading and dozing in hard rock. Working on rock surfaces. Continuous high impact conditions.
For other models the description of the typical work in each group will change, as will the LF for each range of operating conditions. In other words not all will be between 35-80%, it might be 20-80% or 20-50% depending on the type of machine.
Those numbers give you an
estimate of what the machine will consume for a given type of work. The only way to confirm that estimate is to do a fuel consumption test in your specific operating conditions.
