Abstract

An electric power generating plant with an electric motor (11) driven by an internal combustion engine (4) is arranged in a chamber enclosed in a housing (1) surrounded by an insulating material (13) via a water jacket. A heat exchanger through which the exhaust gases (18) of the internal combustion engine flow is arranged inside this water jacket.
