Cogeneration
Our gas-powered cogeneration systems provide a flexible combination of heat and power (CHP) from a single source. Using proven technology, our systems provide up to 40% reductions in primary energy usage, and feature reduced emissions and low lifecycle costs. Using an absorption chiller, the CHP system can transfer heat into ambient cooling, which can then, for example, provide air conditioning to an office complex throughout the entire year.
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems, also known as co-generation systems, use natural gas as a fuel source. These systems provide the advantage of lowering utility costs and reducing power disruption threats for structures that require year-round electricity, heat, or hot water.
The technology enables heat, which would be lost during traditional power generation processes, to be recovered and repurposed to generate heating and cooling. Curtis Power Solutions experts engineer one-stop, custom-designed CHP systems with heat recovery steam generators and accessories to create steam and/or hot water.
