Embodiment Construction
[0047] In accordance with the instant invention, a natural gas fueled, internal combustion engine, employing exhaust gas recycle (EGR), delivers power to spin a coupled electric turbine, as well as heat of combustion, through a heat exchanger, to a co-generation process / utility heat loop for on site use as heat for process water, utility heat, space heat, potable hot water, and the like. This is accomplished with the instant system by increasing the transfer of engine heat to the co-generation process / utility heat loop while maintaining the engine, and especially the cylinder combustion temperature low enough to increase efficiency and reduce thermal NOx to acceptable levels, even in the presence of the recycled exhaust gas. This is accomplished with substantially no increase in parasitic power requirements, such as adding external pumps to increase the flow through the heat exchanger and decreased necessity for catalytic exhaust system clean up.
