CHP units for heat and power

Product catalog summary
Overview of CHP Units
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units are designed to generate heat and power simultaneously, with outputs ranging from 5.5 to 401 kWel. These units are suitable for residential and commercial use, working alongside boilers to provide heating water or domestic hot water. Compact ESS appliances are decentralized CHP units that focus on heating, generating electricity for on-site consumption, and exporting excess power to the public grid.
Efficiency and Environmental Impact
CHP units can achieve efficiencies up to 95%. Models like the Vitobloc 200 EM-20/39 have thermal efficiency over 62% and electrical efficiency over 32%. Using biogas or bio natural gas makes these units environmentally responsible and CO2 neutral, reducing fossil fuel dependency.
Applications and Recommendations
CHP units are ideal for medium output applications in municipal buildings, industrial, and commercial enterprises. The Vitobloc 200 EM-20/39 is recommended for residential complexes, hotels, and car showrooms, achieving high efficiency with condensing technology. Matching output to heat and power demand is crucial for economic viability.
Operational Modes and Benefits
Vitobloc 200 units can operate in mains parallel and mains substitution modes, providing power during grid failures. They offer high electrical efficiency, modulation capabilities, and protection against poor heating water quality. These units can operate on various gases, including natural gas and biogas.
Service and Maintenance
ESS provides comprehensive services, including custom control panels, remote monitoring, and maintenance contracts. Each CHP unit undergoes extensive testing before delivery to ensure reliability and efficiency. Various service packages are available to meet customer needs.
Product Overview
The Vitobloc 200 series includes modules with different outputs and configurations, suitable for natural gas and biogas operations. These units are designed for high efficiency and low emissions, contributing to significant primary energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
Subsidies and Economic Benefits
CHP units are subsidized under the German CHP Act and the Renewable Energy Sources Act, enhancing their economic attractiveness. High-quality components ensure long-term reliability and value retention.
Case Studies
Successful CHP installations include the Park-Hotel Egerner Höfe and the Badeparadies Schwarzwald leisure complex, showcasing the efficiency and economic benefits of CHP systems.
Specifications
The document outlines specifications for energy systems, including CHP units and low-temperature boilers. The CHP units mentioned are Vitobloc 200 EM with outputs of 238 kWel/363 kWth and 280 kWel/414 kWth. The low-temperature boiler is a Vitoplex 300 with a capacity of 1250 kW, using natural gas and oil as fuel.
Procedures and Systems
The document describes the implementation of CHP units in settings like the DGUV administration building and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors site, achieving over 90% efficiency. An independent combustion air supply system prevents refrigerant contamination during maintenance.

Power generation Energy usage Separate generation Power station Coal = 38 % Decentralised 100 % CHP unit Natural gas Saving Primary energy Source: ASUE Combined heat and power units compared with conventional heating technology Decentralised power generation When power is generated in power stations (centralised power supply), the heat that is created is often lost to the environment without being used. The utilisation of this heat, for example for heating buildings, reduces the energy loss and lowers emissions that are damaging to the environment. Combined heat and power generation enables up...

CHP units for heat and power-7

Attractive subsidies and environmentally responsible operation with high efficiency All power generated by CHP units is subsidised by the German CHP Act. CHP units operate with great environmental responsibility. In addition to primary energy savings of up to 30 percent, CO2 emissions are signicantly lower compared to a conventional central power station. For this reason, the German government subsidises CHP technology. Top quality to retain high value Only suitable components from well known manufacturers are used in the production of the CHP units. This guarantees high operational reliability,...
