Power-generating heating systems-3

For a high level of self-sufficiency: combining heat and power The distribution of energy consumption in Germany clearly shows how important it is to take heat supply into account in energy transition: around 40 per cent of energy is used in building heating systems or for water heating. Both decentralised and combined heat and power generation are becoming increasingly more important in this respect. In the future, powergenerating heating systems will also fill the gap when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. Intelligent efficiency: heating systems which also produce electricity...

Combined heat and power generation: generate power while heating – heat while generating power Greater immunity to rising electricity prices thanks to combined heat and power generation. Combined heat and power generation: impressive thanks to high energy efficiency Heat is produced during electricity generation. This heat is lost as exhaust heat in central power plants and additional energy even needs to be used to cool it down for the most part. In contrast, CHP systems use exhaust heat for heating and DHW heating. As a result, their overall efficiency is substantially higher than that of separate...

Ideal for new builds: fuel cell boiler Vitovalor 300-P Viessmann is bringing environmentally friendly technology into detached and semi-detached houses with the world's first mass-produced fuel cell boiler. It takes much less energy to heat a well-insulated new building than an older one. This means that the fuel cell module in Vitovalor 300-P with its 1 kW of thermal output is able to cover most of the heat requirement. The integrated gas condensing boiler only switches on if more energy is needed. In addition to heat supply, Vitovalor 300-P produces up to 15 kWh electricity per day, sufficient...

VITOVALOR 300-P Fuel cells do not generate electricity by burning fossil fuels, but use an electro-chemical process instead. This technology protects the environment and finite resources. A fuel cell uses oxygen and hydrogen to generate electricity and heat. The chemical reaction between the two elements forms the basis of this process, also known as "cold combustion". Hydrogen is conveyed to the anode, where a catalyst splits it into positive ions and negative electrons. The electrons travel to the cathode via an electrical conductor, producing electricity. At the same time, the positively charged...

Power-generating heating systems-11

VITOTWIN 300-W VITOTWIN 350-F Stirling engines are highly efficient in their operation, are eminently suitable for decentralised electricity generation and also produce heat. The Stirling engine is driven by a gas burner, producing electricity as a result while also delivering enough heat for heating systems and DHW heating "in passing" as it were. The Stirling engine operates with two pistons, the movement of which is converted into electricity. The exhaust heat produced during this process is then used for heating. An overall efficiency of 96 percent (Hs) shows that the Stirling engine uses...

Electricity storage system Vitocharge electricity storage system: your declaration of independence from the power grid Combined heat and power generation often produces more electricity than a detached house needs at the time it is generated. The Vitocharge electricity storage system is thus an ideal complement. Output as required: thanks to the modular design, the usable storage capacity can be adjusted between 2.5 and 10 kWh. Store electricity efficiently: Vitocharge stores self-produced electricity and then provides it when it is needed. Self-sufficiency with a capital "S": store electricity...
