Hi all,
Any ideas on the BIGGEST diesel engines out there? I
recently saw the end of an eposide of Robbie Coltrane's "Engine
Power" series about diesels and he was standing next to what he
called the biggest diesel in the world. It was supposedly in Italy and
looked to be about the size of a couple of houses - in all directions.
He said that it was also about the most efficient diesel engine there
is, running at about 40%. Anyone have any links to "big diesel" stuff.
Just to get this back on topic, after seeing this TV show, I
was wondering about the possiblity of replacing coal fired power
stations with massive diesel driven gen-sets, which would of course
be fueled with biodiesel. I have done work at one coal fired power
station which is rated at 1600MW and burns 4Mt of coal a year,
therefore dumps about 12Mt of CO2 into the air. I was just
wondering if it would be possible to replace this with clean, green
biodiesel powered diesels.
Any thoughts,
Andrew Lowe
