Request a quoteWhat is cogeneration?
Cogeneration, also known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), represents a revolution in the way industries meet their energy needs.
Unlike traditional methods that waste much of the energy as waste heat, cogeneration captures and reuses this heat, achieving an efficiency that exceeds 90%, compared to 50% in conventional systems.
In cogeneration plants, exhaust gases can be utilized to produce hot water, further increasing the overall system efficiency.
How does the cogeneration process work?
Combined heat and power generation is an efficient process that uses a single energy source to produce both electricity and heat.
Primary energy generation
The process begins with a primary energy source, such as natural gas or a gas turbine, which is used to generate electricity.
Waste heat capture
During electricity production, waste heat is generated. Instead of discarding it, this heat is captured and reused.
Heat utilization
This waste heat is used for various purposes, such as producing hot water for heating or industrial processes.
Distribution and final use
The generated electricity is distributed to power electrical equipment and systems, while the captured heat is directed to processes that require thermal energy.
Reasons to choose cogeneration
