Clean Coal Diesel Demonstration Project

“…• General Electric coal-fueled engine development culminating in a twelve-cylinder locomotive engine demonstration and two hundred hours of operation; see Hsu and Confer (19,(85)(86)(87)(88) • Cooper-Bessemer coal-fueled diesel development including over 1200 hours of operation on a six cylinder 1800 kW engine (28,29,40,72,75,91,92). …”

“…Durability of this system was also acceptable. (31, 85,86) Selection of the shuttle diameter and stroke is governed by the response time required for return of the shuttle and the compressibility of the trapped fuel. The longer the stroke, the longer the return time.…”
