<p>A co-generation plant module system having a fluid tight housing (12) with an internal chamber formed by a top wall (18), a bottom wall (14) and side walls (15). A prime mover (20) such as an internal combustion engine, has its drive shaft connected to an electricity generator (22) and both of these components are mounted on a sub-frame (23) that would allow them to be raised up out of the internal chamber for servicing. An exhaust gas heat exchanger (30) is mounted in the chamber and this is connected to the internal combustion engine. Air and fuel are supplied from outside the housing to the internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas leaving the gas exchanger is vented to the outside of the housing. The electricity generated by the generator is also connected to the outside of the housing. A layer of insulation (19) of a predetermined R value insulates the walls of the housing. A sufficient volume of heat exchange fluid (25) to submerge the internal combustion engine and generator is contained within the internal chamber of the fluid tight housing.</p> |
