Product Introduction

The CHP Gas Generator Set is a gas engine generator configured for combined heat and power operation, in which the engine drives an alternator to produce electrical power while jacket water and exhaust heat are recovered through heat exchangers to supply usable thermal energy. The set integrates the gas engine, alternator, exhaust heat recovery boiler or heat exchanger, jacket water circuit, control panel, and hydraulic and electrical auxiliaries as an assembled unit. Depending on the configuration, thermal output is delivered as hot water at 80 to 95 degrees Celsius, low-pressure steam, or thermal oil for process heating. Total energy utilization reaches up to 90 percent of the fuel input when both electrical and thermal output are fully used. Power output ranges from 100 kW to 4,000 kW, with engine speed set at 1500 rpm for 50 Hz or 1800 rpm for 60 Hz output. The control panel manages engine start and stop, gas supply regulation, alternator excitation, synchronization, thermal circuit monitoring, and protection functions. The set is applied at facilities with simultaneous electrical and thermal demand, where on-site generation with heat recovery improves overall energy utilization compared with separate purchase of electricity and fuel for heating.

Core Advantages for B2B Operations

Engineered for facilities with simultaneous electrical and thermal demand, where energy cost and carbon intensity are managed at the site level.

Total Energy Utilization

Up to 90 Percent Fuel Efficiency

By capturing both electrical output and engine waste heat, CHP configurations utilize up to 90 percent of the fuel energy input, compared with approximately 40 to 45 percent for power-only generation. This directly reduces fuel cost per unit of useful energy delivered to the facility.

Thermal Output

Multiple Heat Delivery Formats

Thermal energy can be delivered as hot water, low-pressure steam, or thermal oil depending on the process requirement. Heat recovery circuits are configured at the design stage to match the facility's thermal load profile, temperature level, and return conditions.

Cost Management

Reduced Energy Cost per Unit Produced

On-site generation with heat recovery reduces purchased electricity and boiler fuel consumption simultaneously. For facilities with continuous thermal demand, the combined cost of electricity and heat per unit of output is lower than the separate purchase of grid power and boiler fuel.

Carbon

Lower Carbon Intensity per Unit of Energy

Higher overall fuel utilization reduces the carbon dioxide emitted per unit of useful energy delivered. For facilities operating under carbon reporting or reduction targets, CHP configurations provide a measurable reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions compared with separate power and heat supply.

Grid Interaction

Reduced Grid Dependency and Demand Charges

On-site generation reduces the electrical load drawn from the grid, lowering demand charges and exposure to electricity price volatility. Where grid connection is limited, CHP capacity can be sized to cover a portion of the facility load while maintaining supply reliability.

Compliance

Support for Efficiency and Emissions Requirements

CHP operation can support compliance with facility energy efficiency requirements, industrial emissions reduction programs, and building energy performance standards. The control system provides operating data for reporting on fuel input, electrical output, thermal output, and overall efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

01 Thermal output below the required temperature
Verify the heat recovery circuit design against the actual thermal load temperature requirement, check the jacket water temperature setpoint, inspect the exhaust heat exchanger for fouling, and confirm flow rates match the design specification.
02 Low overall efficiency compared with design value
Check the heat recovery circuit for heat loss or bypass, verify that thermal output is actually being used rather than dumped, inspect the exhaust heat exchanger for fouling, and confirm the engine is operating near rated load.
03 Exhaust heat exchanger fouling
Inspect the exhaust heat exchanger surface at scheduled intervals, clean according to the maintenance procedure, and verify the engine combustion condition since incomplete combustion increases soot loading on the heat exchanger.
04 Thermal load varies significantly through the day
Configure a thermal storage tank or buffer to match the thermal demand profile with the generator set operating point, and verify the control system can modulate heat recovery or exhaust bypass as required.
05 Grid parallel operation and load sharing
Verify synchronization settings, check the power factor control configuration, confirm load sharing parameters between the generator set and grid or other units, and validate protection coordination with the local grid operator.
06 Emissions and efficiency reporting requirements
Confirm the reporting parameters required for the applicable program, verify the control system data logging covers fuel input, electrical output, thermal output, and efficiency, and schedule emission testing according to the applicable regulatory requirements.
07 Heat recovery system leakage or pressure loss
Inspect the heat recovery circuit for leaks at flanges and connections, verify circuit pressure at scheduled intervals, and check the expansion tank and makeup water system function.

Operating Notes
