You must consider the following when selecting an engine:
Engine Selection Advise
Application: e.g. water pump
Hp or kW required e.g. 20 hp
Speed e.g. 2500 rpm
Direct coupled or v-belt e.g. direct coupled by flexible coupling
Ambient conditions e.g. up to 40c , 30% humidity
Site conditions e.g. under cover on farm site
Duty – continuous or intermittent e.g. continuous 2500 hrs per year
Other factors e.g. Side loads, vibration, electrics, maintenance and service plan, noise levels, shock loads, exhaust emissions etc.
Standard conditions: 20°c ambient temperature, 30% relative humidity at 100 mtrs altitude.
Gross intermittent rating: 1 hr rating based on engine without cooling fan, air cleaner, muffler, but with
alternator idling.
Net intermittent rating: 1 hr rating based on engine with standard cooling fan, air cleaner, muffler and
alternator, fitted to engine
Net continuous rating: Continuous output based on engine with standard cooling fan, air cleaner,
Muffler and alternator fitted.
De-rating: Refer to DPS. Allowance for changes to standard conditions being ambient temperature, relative humidity and altitude.
Transmission Factors: Allowance for power losses in the transmission system e.g. Belt and pulley
losses, flexible coupling losses, gearbox transmission losses etc.
If you require help in selection or want your engine selection checked, please ask.
