This report covers the second year activities of a program undertaken to improve the performance and maintenance requirements of a light-duty gas engine for cogeneration service. The subject engine is a 454 cu-in-displacement automotive gasoline engine converted to operate on natural gas. The engine is currently used in cogeneration and as a compressor drive for air-conditioning applications. It is the object of the program to improve the engine's performance in terms of output and efficiency, to reduce its service requirements, and to identify its emissions characteristics, thereby enhancing gas-fired cogeneration applications.
