A nominal 30 kw natural gas-fueled engine has been used to provide heat and electrical power for a greenhouse system. The generator is attached to the utility grid. The waste heat from the engine's cooling jacket and exhaust heat exchanger is delivered to the greenhouse via a flooded floor heat exchanger storage system. This paper reviews the performance of the cogenerator as matched to the greenhouse's energy requirements.
