For generator set installations, the heat radiated by the generator can be estimated by
H (kW) =P X ((1/Eff)-1)
H (Btu/min) =P X ((1/EFF)-1) x56.9
Where:
H = Heat Radiated by the Generator (kW), (Btu/min)
P = Generator Output at Maximum Engine Rating (kW)
Eff = Generator Efficiency % / 100%
Example: 975 kW standby generator set has a generator efficiency of 92%. The generator
radiant heat for this genset can be calculated as follows.
P = 975 kW
Efficiency = 92% = 0.92
H = 975 x ((1/92%) – 1)
H= 84.78 kW
H = 975 x ((1/92%) – 1) x 56.9
H = 4824 Btu/min
