Abstract
An innovative, alternative reciprocating engine
cogeneration system is being developed that can provide
the industrial and commercial end-user with
electric power and process heat that is totally in
the form of high-pressure steam. Current reciprocating
engine systems can now provide only low-pressure
steam or hot water from the engine jacket,
and this often is not needed or not the most appropriate.
