Abstract
A power plant has an electrical generator driven by an internal combustion engine in which engine coolant circulates in a gas/liquid heat exchanger to take up heat from engine exhaust gases and then through a liquid/liquid heat exchanger to give up heat to a secondary water circuit, the electrical generator being cooled by a circulation of water in the secondary circuit through a surrounding cooling jacket after the water has given up heat in a heating unit.
