For reciprocating engines, extra power is needed to be ready to start fast. Like a steam turbine in a combined cycle plant, the cylinders of a reciprocating engine must be hot before starting up.

“Reciprocating engines are becoming an increasingly popular choice of prime mover technology for utility-class generation assets,” Dean Powell, general manager of Power Plants & Key Accounts ...

Some engines use a spark to ignite their fuel, and others rely on compression. What does all of that mean? And how do the two ...

The reciprocating engine has been all the rage for at least three centuries. The first widely adopted engine of this type was the steam engine with a piston translating linear motion into ...

Reciprocating Engine Industry is projected to register over 3.5% CAGR between 2021 and 2027, owing to increasing demand for electricity along with growing seaborne trade across the developing ...

Reciprocating Engine Oil 101 Oil types fall into three main types— straight mineral, ashless-dispersant, and synthetic— and all need to be changed regularly.

Each reciprocating engine, whether rebuilt, repaired or modified, is cycled through one of 18 dynamometer test cells by qualified technicians.

I have already written about LiquidPiston and its XTS-210, but Avadi's idea is even more striking: it is a reciprocating engine that works as a rotary. Imagine an ICE with a single piston.
