Hao, In my experience, the technical data sheets (sometimes called "cut sheets") that manufacturers provide on their websites have some of the information that you need in order to create (or modify the existing) data file. I have just been working on a much larger engine and found enough data in the cut sheet that I was able to fill in the blanks with one of the example files (the performance shown on the cut sheet and the performance shown in the example file were similar enough that I could make good guesses about the data that I didn't find yet. I would guess that much smaller engines might not have the same kind of cooling requirements as the larger engines (maybe there would be no aftercooler in a microCHP engine, for example). I would spend some time looking online at manufacturer's websites to see if you can find technical data for the engine that you are considering. You might also use Type120, which is a much more basic model of an IC engine/generator. Best, David On 6/22/2013 18:51, Hao Wu wrote:
