Advanced technology for better efficiency


How does a CHP function?

A CHP consists of an engine alternator unit, including the heat exchangers.

That means:
Alternators are driven by gas powered combustion engines.
Normally, the resulting thermal energy remains unused. However, in CHP-units this energy is being used through heat exchangers and thus reduces heating cost.

The efficiency factor of the unit is calculated as follows:

Efficiency factor% =
Produced heat and electricity : needed fuel

Besides the use of the waste heat, it can also be used via absorption technology to produce cold air for refrigeration. Specially during the summer, excessive waste heat can therefore be used to air-condition buildings. That effect increases the running time and the efficiency of the CHP-unit.

 

For whom is a CHP useful?

CHP-units are excellent to be used for the following:

● Hotels, Restaurants, Indoor pools
● Businesses, Communities, Schools, Public Buildings
● Hospitals, Wellness centers
● Waste water treatment plants
● Bio-gas facilities etc.

COMPARISON
Traditional facilities and CHP-units in comparison


bhkw1 With traditional production of cold air/heat and electricity, large amounts of unused waste heat and emmissions occur. In addition, consider the low efficiency factor of traditional units as well as the conduit losses, 30% to 40% of additional primary energy would be required.

bhkw2 With decentralized energy production in form of a CHP, the overall energy loss is reduced by using the waste heat of the CHP-unit.


 

bhkw2

Reduction of energy cost:
 ●
higher efficiency factor of the unit
  ●
no power losses
●
reduction of primary energy
●
less wear on the combustion engine
●
low maintenance cost


Usually, the high cost for peak time and further purchase of user right are eliminated.
