Cogeneration Equipment: Maximizing Energy Efficiency through Combined Heat and Power
In the pursuit of more sustainable and efficient energy solutions, cogeneration equipment is emerging as a practical and high-impact technology. Also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems, cogeneration simultaneously produces electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source—resulting in significant energy savings and reduced emissions across industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
How Cogeneration Works
Traditional power plants generate electricity and often waste the excess heat produced during the process. Cogeneration systems, by contrast, capture and repurpose this waste heat for heating water, space heating, or even cooling with absorption chillers. This dual-use of energy significantly boosts overall efficiency, often achieving rates of 60–80%, compared to the 40–50% efficiency of conventional power generation.
Cogeneration equipment typically includes a prime mover (such as a gas turbine, steam turbine, or reciprocating engine), a generator, and a heat recovery system. It can be powered by a variety of fuels, including natural gas,…
