Cogeneration
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems delivering efficiencies of 75–85% for industrial and commercial facilities.
Over the past few years the installation and operation of Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) equipment has become cost effective. Its proven track record allows for a mainstream acceptance in industrial and commercial applications.
Typical cogeneration equipment is natural gas fueled. In addition, if utility rates are high enough in the territory in which a company operates, usage does not have to be 24 hours per day to achieve a good return on investment for the cogeneration equipment and its operation.
Due to electric grid constraints some utilities provide rebates for installation of such systems. Efficiencies of 75% to 85% are achievable at a reasonable cost for Energy Consulting Services cogeneration projects.
Available Sources of Heat Recovery
