Fuel inlet temperature power derate generator

[dkontopana]

Hello All,

Apologies if that has been discussed, I am facing an issue with a Diesel Engine for Power Generation which derates when fuel inlet temp exceeds 50degC. As per the spec of the engine, the engine could tolerate temps up to 70degC...I am thinking that might be a limitation of the fuel pump, or the engine is lightly loaded so lots of fuel returns and heats up too much the engine...Any ideas, suggestions or relevant experience? Thank you!
