- Abstract
- Gaseous and particulate emissions testing was conducted on three Caterpillar D-398 600 kW-rated generator sets at varying operating loads which included 0%, 20%, 40%, 59%, 79%, 100%, and 110%. These engines were designed to provide the dual functions of electric generation, and heat supply through exhaust heat exchangers. Water jacket cooling water temperatures were maintained at two levels depending on engine load; i.e., = or < 200 degrees F at loads of 100% and 110%, and < 228 degrees F at 79% and below. Measured parameters included carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The measurement techniques and resulting emission data are presented herein.
