CHP Gas Generator Set
Gas engine generator set configured for combined heat and power operation, capturing engine jacket water and exhaust heat through integrated recovery circuits to supply electrical power and usable thermal energy from a single fuel input.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
