Method for imposing variable load on the internal combustion engine used in vapor destruction applications

摘要

A method of imposing a variable load upon the internal combustion engine as it is typically used in the performance of degassing operations includes coupling a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine to a secondary internal combustion engine.

1. A system for controlling emissions of VOC's by combustion of said VOC's in an internal combustion engine, the system comprising a driving device that is a primary internal combustion engine that is connected to a source of VOC's and comprises a crankshaft and a driven device that is a secondary internal combustion engine that also comprises a crankshaft, wherein the crankshafts of the primary internal combustion engine and the secondary internal combustion engine are coupled together and configured such that, throughout operation of the primary internal combustion engine, the driven secondary internal combustion engine imposes a resistive load on the primary internal combustion engine and the crankshafts of the primary internal combustion engine and the secondary combustion engine remain coupled together.
