A diesel locomotive includes a number of auxiliary subsystems operating in conjunction with the locomotive diesel engine and deriving their energy, from the diesel engine. Included among the subsystems are various cooling systems, the battery charging system, and the electrical generation system, comprising one or more alternators drivingly coupled to the engine shaft. Each of the subsystems includes a component that is activated when one or more operational conditions associated with the subsystem are met. For instance, an engine cooling system fan motor is activated when the coolant temperature exceeds a predetermined value. Similarly, a battery charger is activated when the battery voltage falls below a predetermined value, and an alternator blower is activated when the main or auxiliary alternator temperature exceeds a predetermined value. The activation of these power consuming auxiliary devices while the diesel engine is transitioning from a first load state to a higher load state, causes the formation of excessive smoke emissions. According to the present invention, the activation of these auxiliary components is delayed until the diesel engine has reached steady-state operation, after which the elements are activated as required.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for enhancing interoperability of a plant. Such systems and methods include a carbon emission, capture, transport, and usage model. The carbon emission, capture, transport, and usage model is capable of modeling interrelationships of inputs, outputs, and requirements between a carbon emitting plant, the carbon capture process, a carbon transportation system, and a carbon usage system. The carbon emitting plant is capable of producing a product having a carbonaceous substance. The carbon capture process is capable of capturing at least a portion of the carbonaceous substance from the product as a carbonaceous gas. The carbon transportation system is capable of transporting the carbonaceous gas from the carbon capture process to the carbon usage system. The carbon usage system is capable of receiving the carbonaceous gas transported by the carbon transportation system.

The present invention is directed towards a system that makes high quality gypsum from a dry flue gas desulfurization process which utilizes a low temperature regeneration of the carbon adsorbent in the flue gas process. The high quality gypsum is easily filterable with large crystal size and has high purity with few contaminants, such as calcium sulfite and heavy metals. This invention is also directed towards a system that regenerates the carbon used in dry flue gas desulfurization at a temperature below 120. degree. C. and the recycling of sodium hydroxide to form a sodium sulfite reducing solution for carbon adsorbent regeneration.

The present invention is directed towards a method that makes sulfuric acid from a dry flue gas desulfurization process which utilizes a low temperature regeneration of the carbon adsorbent in the flue gas process. The sulfuric acid is generated in an electrolytic reactor. This invention is also directed towards a system that regenerates the carbon used in dry flue gas desulfurization at a temperature below 120. degree. C.

Disclosed is a low-temperature process for regenerating carbon adsorbents utilized in flue gas desulfurization where carbon loss is minimized. The carbon adsorbent is soaked or washed in a basic reducing solution having a pH greater than 7. 0 at room temperature to remove sulfur-containing compounds from carbon.

A variable volume oven that can be modified to adjust its volume according to the cooking load. The volume of the oven is able to be adjusted by providing a heating element that is vertically adjustable within the oven to a position that provides better convective and radiative heating to the cooking load.
