CHP Installation - Natural Gas & Biogas Systems

A CHP (Combined Heat and Power) generator is a type of energy system that uses a single fuel source, such as natural gas or biogas, to generate both electricity and useful heat. The generator typically consists of an engine or turbine that is connected to an electric generator and a heat recovery system.

The engine or turbine in the CHP generator burns the fuel to generate electricity, just like a traditional power plant. However, unlike traditional power plants, which waste the heat generated during electricity production, a CHP generator captures and uses the heat for other purposes, such as space heating or hot water production. This heat recovery system increases the overall efficiency of the energy system, as it reduces the amount of fuel needed to produce both electricity and heat.

CHP generators are typically used in large industrial or commercial settings, such as hospitals, universities, or manufacturing plants, where there is a high demand for both electricity and heat. They can also be used in small residential or commercial settings, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, where there is a need for on-site electricity and heat generation.

Overall, CHP generators are an efficient and environmentally friendly energy option, as they use less fuel and produce less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional power plants.
