COGENERATION UNITS (CHP)

Cogeneration is modern technology of producing heat and electrical energy, which considering the rising price of energies founds more and more places of use.
It is based on the principle of producing heat and electrical energy in the one machinery – cogeneration units.
This principle is in the combustion engine which drives three-phase generator which produces electrical energy. Heat is extracted engine jacket water, oil and exhaust gases. Output of the heat is usually in form of heating water but when needed it is possible to use thermal oil or steam. It is possible to extend cogeneration unit by absorption chiller for chilled water production for so called trigeneration.

Cogeneration finds its use everywhere, where the electrical energy is needed for own consumption, parallel work with the mains or as a stand-by source at the mains failure and at the same time heat can be used for heating, from hospitals, industrial, agricultural and food plants, office buildings, swimming pools, culture centers to residential buildings, hotels and pensions.

Combined heat and power production means 35% lower fuel consumption and same decrease of ecological load of the country. It will have a great meaning in the future because of its high efficiency of producing energy.
Most common fuel for cogeneration units is natural gas. But very interesting is also possibility of using biogas in the agriculture, food industry, landfills and sewage plants. When the use of natural gas or biogas is not possible, LPG is used as fuel for cogeneration units. New alternative is usage of liquid fuels made from waste or biomass.

Assumption for effective investment return is professionally prepared study of installation of the cogeneration unit. TTS Martin offers to customers also design and project documentation, production of designed cogeneration unit or units, testing, commissioning, service and spare parts supply.
