Re: [biofuel] Need info on Perkins D3152 Engine

2002-09-14 Thread Steve Spence

Kirk and Juan to the rescue. There we have it. Thank you.

French - cheval vapeur (horse steam)
Spanish - Caballo Vapor (horse steam)

Now we know what the CV means in  g/cvh (grams per metric horsepower hour)

As Kirk pointed out:

metric horsepower, a unit of power, defined to be the power required to
raise a mass of 75 kilograms at a velocity of 1 meter per second. This is
approximately 735.499 watts or 0.9873 horsepower. The unit is also known by
its French name cheval vapeur or its German name pferdestŠrke
(horsepower).

 Hello, Steve

 I think that unit you are refering to, it is in Spanish: consumption rate
of fuel per energy delived in one hour

 g/CVh = gramos/Caballos Vapor hora  = gram/Horse Power hour

 CV (Caballo Vapor) = Steam Horse Power

 Caballo = Horse

 Vapor = Steam

 Regards

 Juan

 It's a rate of fuel consumption. I'm trying to find what the units are,
and
 a conversion table, but 197 g/kWh = 144 g/cvh

  Thanks, Steve. The table at the link below is especially interesting
  since the engine I'm looking at is in fact part of a genset. Do you know
  what the meaning of the abbreviations CV and g/CVh are in the context of
  this table?

Anyone familiar with the Perkins D3152 engine? I have located one that
is about 25 or 30 years old and has 86 hours on it (run twice each month
just to keep tabs on it). The metal tag on the unit says D3-152I. Am I
correct in my understanding that this is a three-cylinder, 2.5 liter
engine? Any opinions on this engine or its suitability for conversion to
SVO use would be appreciated. And if anyone has any literature on it or
a closely related engine, I'd love to know! Thanks,

2002-09-13 Thread dennis

i know all about that perkins engine, it is a 3 cylinder 152 cid . they 
were made in england, and were mainly used in massey ferguson tractors. 
they are very easy on fuel easy to repair and are one the cheapest 
engine to overhaul. they also start good and these motors stay together. 
they have a very long stroke, it should run ok on svo, they are a tough 
engine
