Cogeneration (CHP) units are economically and environmentally friendly, whether you operate them with natural gas, fuel oil or vegetable oil. Starting at 5 kW(therm) CHP, your cogeneration unit could save your money. The electricity produced by the system itself may be consumed or fed into the grid. We advise you in the design and procurement of electric high-quality, reliable cogeneration units for fuel gas, propane gas, fuel oil and vegetable oil (rapeseed, palm oil) in the power range from 3 kW to 3000 kW.

Technology
The main elements of a CHP are a motor (gasoline, diesel) and a generator. The motor produces on the one hand heat that is dissipated by heat exchangers in an existing heating system and on the other hand mechanical energy that drives the generator, which in turn generates electricity. The so-generated electricity can be consumed or sold to your energy provider. Suitable fuels are fuel oil, gas or vegetable oil, dependening on the type of engine.

Refrigeration
If you need heat and in addition cold, you can achieve this by the use of absorber-chillers. The CHP generates 95°C heat to evaporate a refrigerant liquid that is cooled down to about 8°C. If this is sufficient for the object to be cooled, particularly economic systems can be designed, as the life of a absorber-chillers is higher and the operating costs are lower than for comparable electric compressor units.
