Congeneration units
We provide cogeneration units (CGU) with an output of up to 530 kW electrically (kWel) or up to 660 kW thermally (kWth) for the use of combined heat and electricity production in the industrial area.
Function of cogeneration unit
A cogeneration unit combines the production of electricity and heat with on-site use. It thus provides a high efficiency gain compared to normal electricity production in a power plant that transfers (unused) heat to the surrounding environment. Combustion engine connects the core of the device which in turn drives the generator, more precisely the synchronous generator to produce electricity. Combustion generates heat that can be used as heating or process heat. Through a plate heat exchanger, the heat is taken from lubricating oil, cooling water and flue gas to bring it to the heating circuit.
Advantages of a cogeneration unit at a glance
- Maximum operational safety
- High stability of value
- Sophisticated technology
- Minimal commissioning costs
In addition, the cogeneration unit scores points by being equipped as standard for backup operation. The need for reactive current does not increase. Finally, gas lines, starting batteries, lubricating oil supply and cabinet switchboard are integrated in the module. This means time and cost savings in planning, installation and commissioning.
