Abstract
The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence on the thermo-energetic performance given by the increase in the operating temperature of an internal diesel combustion engine reducing the dissipation of the thermal load transferred to the cooling fluid by restricting the flow of water through the radiator. Modifications were made in the line of input of the thermal exchange system of the engine. Power, fuel consumption and temperature parameters were collected for energy analysis of the effects after the engine temperature changes. As a result, a significant reduction in the specific fuel consumption and a improvement in the overall thermal performance of the generator set were obtained.
