Gas Engineers Will Require CPA1 From 1st April 2012
Gas Engineers Will Require CPA1 From 1st April 2012 Why do I need this? The Gas Safe Register announced a year ago that all registered gas engineers who have or due to gain ACS modules CEN1 or HTR1 now require the flue gas analyser qualification CPA1. From April 2012, gas engineers who do not hold the CPA1 will have their CEN1 and/or HTR1 suspended. www.shawcity.co.uk Shawcity are the UK ...

Gas engines for resiliency of site operation
The choice to deploy a combined heat and power (CHP) system, utilising reciprocating gas engines, is often an investment decision to help drive cost and carbon savings to an organisation, whose focus is not traditionally, power generation. Clarke Energy have deployed CHP in numerous ‘critical’ applications around the world; whereby a power outage could cause considerable disruption ...

Technical and economic analysis of gas-engine driven heat pump in China
In this paper, the primary energy ratio and economic benefit of five different heating systems are analysed. The results show that the gas-engine heat pump system has the advantages of high primary energy efficiency and favours environmental protection in contrast to the other four heating systems. At the same time, to improve the economic benefit of the energy saving and environmental protection ...

Air Fuel Control System
Years ago, before exhaust emissions were a concern, the natural gas engines used mainly by the natural gas industry were designed to run with excess air. The air-fuel ratio controllers were mechanical devices that were not very accurate and sometimes not even used. These engines ran very well with 5% to 20% excess air. The air-fuel ratio would often vary with load and as long as the engines would ...

Heating Value
The lower heating value (LHV) or higher heating value (HHV) of a gas is an important consideration when selecting a gas engine or CHP plant. Gas engines efficiency is typically quoted based upon the LHV of the gas. Whenever a hydrocarbon fuel is burned one product of combustion is water. The quantity of water produced is dependent upon the amount of hydrogen in the fuel. Due to high combustion ...

Hydrogen as Future Fuel for Gas Engines
Gas engines are providing a wide range of fuel flexibility from burning natural gas and a variety of non- natural gaseous fuels from low British Thermal Unit (BTU) gases as well as gases containing a high hydrogen content. Hydrogen containing gases can be found as by-product from steel (furnace gas) or chemical process, or alternatively hydrogen is produced and blended to natural gas. In the ...
