Combined
Heat & Power

Cogeneration, also known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), simultaneously produces both electricity and useable heat from a single fuel source, natural gas. By capturing the heat that is typically wasted in a conventional plant, CHP can provide usable hot water for your building’s heating systems, while at the same time, providing off-grid power. In addition to experiencing dramatic energy cost reductions, you will be decreasing harmful emissions and carbon footprint.

Cogeneration is a More Efficient, Less Expensive and More Earth-Conscious Way to Generate Heat and Power

 

On-site CHP can be a Better Option

CHP is a more efficient, less expensive and more sustainable way to generate both heat and power for on-site consumption. These systems can provide 85% operational efficiency versus the low efficiency of traditional central power plants, which are only 30% efficient and still need to overcome your utility electrical network’s line losses to reach your building’s internal electrical infrastructure.

Our CHP modules consist of an EPA-certified natural gas fueled, naturally aspirated, low-emissions reciprocating engine coupled to a generator. Solid-state controls are used for remote, automated operation with an electrical interface to interconnect with existing utility services. The module’s heat recovery equipment includes an oil cooler, engine jacket, engine manifold, and exhaust gas heat exchangers to recover all possible thermal energy. This allows us to transfer what is normally considered “waste heat” back to your system in the form of usable thermal energy. Equipped with remote monitoring and control, our Service Department can in ‘real time’ easily adjust parameters, monitor alarm and pre-alarm notifications, make modifications, and download software updates to your system.
