-> A wise move. A big engine like that woill not be effient a low RPM.
-> The smaller diesel approach is far better, especially if you have a
-> low cost feul supply, and can use the heat byproduct.
->
-> BTW, I presume that the 93% effiency is the net electricity + heat
-> production, since diesel engines are not that effient by themselves.
The 93% is the electricity + heat produced by the natural gas unit.
Diesel's about 90%.  I expect to speak with the fellow from R. A.
Mitchell today, so will confirm those figures...
