Abstract
This presentation on gas engines, especially Caterpillar engines, is n ot a scientific study. Its aim is to explain, in a simple and accessib le way to non specialists, the working specifications of the engines, the technical problems raised and how to solve them, both from a profi table and pollution point of view. Competitiveness and cleanliness of gas as an energy source explain the development on heat recovery and m aintenance which provides cost saving technical solutions.
