Alternative fuels for cogeneration

Cogeneration units with low emission diesel engines for liquid alternative fuels

Cogeneration units Martin Power based on modified modern engines MTU are own developement of TTS Martin. Until now two MP 250 M-DCU prototypes has been put into continuous operation. Fuel used in these engines are vegetable oils, animal fats and oils made from waste plastics.

Cogeneration unit installed in 2011 in Otrokovice (Czech Republic) is container type with emergency cooler on the roof. Maximal energy input utility is achieved by using produced power, heated water from engine, oil, fuel and air cooling and also heated air from heat radiated from the engine and generator.

Second cogeneration unit of this type is installed in Moldava nad Bodvou in noiseproof canopy. Again also heated air is used besides standard power and heating water usage. This kind of using less valuable and waste fuels for energetic purposes with efficiency over 90% in modern commonrail engines is real green energy.
