摘要： A heat exchange cooling system for an internal combustion engine co-generation plant, which allows exhaust recycled gas combustion while maintaining lower head temperatures to reduce thermal NOx emissions while delivering increased process/utility heat to a proximate co-generation client, is provided. The cooling system has two cooling loops with different flow rates: one through the engine and the second through exhaust manifolds, such that higher engine block flow resulting in cooler head temperatures is provided, while allowing higher temperature coolant to flow through exhaust exchangers, such that when the two coolant flows converge at a process/utility heat exchanger for heating co-generation client liquid, the combined flows substantially increase the transferred heat. In another embodiment, a separate intercooler circuit is used to cool the compressed intake charge containing the recycled gas prior to entry into the intake engine manifold to further reduce head temperatures and control thermal NOx emissions.

摘要： A natural gas fuel regulator for a natural gas fueled internal combustion engine for driving a co-generation plant, which allows exhaust recycled gas combustion while maintaining lower head temperatures to reduce thermal NOx emissions. The gas regulator has a modulation chamber, which modulates incremental pressure changes from the carburetion system to allow the engine to respond to load changes without the necessity for dynamic control feed back valve. In one aspect, a non-diaphragm venturi fuel/air-mixing unit with post turbo charger throttle adjustment is downstream of the natural gas fuel regulator to provide lean burn, low thermal NOx operation of the co-generation unit from no load to full load electrical generation.

摘要： A carburetion system, without complicated control systems, functions uniformly throughout the range of engine load and incremental increases of power demand to provide efficient stable engine performance for a natural gas fired, internal combustion engine using EGR. A cogeneration system for supplying distributed generation of electricity and process/utility heat, employs a system for engine cooling and effective heat transfer to a cogeneration client, reduces engine head temperature, thereby reducing fuel consumption and reducing pollutants, as well as delivering substantially increased heat to a cogeneration process/utility heat facility by use of a carburetion system which employs at least a pair of spaced apart venturi positioned in series proximate one to another such that a first exhaust recycled gas venturi is upstream of a fuel venturi where fuel and air/exhaust gas are admixed prior to the resultant gas being introduced into a turbocharger. The distance between the exhaust venturi and fuel venturi is affective to provide a given amount of exhaust gas to air ratio prior to entering the fuel venturi inlet. Unexpectedly the spatial relationship between the two venturi, one to the other, affectively regulates exhaust gas air mixture, as well as the air/fuel/exhaust gas mixture to the engine by means solely of pressure increase and decrease (vacuum) of the engine intake system.
