This unit procedure models the generation of electric power by combustion of fuel and air in a reciprocating internal combustion engine coupled to an electric generator.
● Fuel: the designated input port for the fuel stream.
● Air: the designated input port for the air stream.
● Exhaust Gas: the designated output port for the exhaust gas.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Generate Electricity, see Power Generation in an IC Engine-Generator
● CIP, see Clean-In-Place (CIP)
● Hold, see Holding
● SIP, see Steam-In-Place (SIP)
Note that operations CIP, Hold, and SIP are only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
The following procedures offer a similar functionality:
