Abstract
The author discusses the application of spark-ignited gas engines to such services as gas transmission, gas gathering and chemical processing with integral angle engine-compressors as well as directly coupled units. The author also treats such performance aspects of two-and four-stroke cycle spark-ignited gas engines as: fuel consumption, cyclic dispersion in combustion, accommodation of ambient temperature variation, load variation and altitude. There is an extended discussion of pulse and constant pressure turbocharger characteristics and their influence on engine performance. Important hardware considerations are given, such as design of valves and valve inserts, cylinder heads and pistons.Keywords
