Micro-CHP

  • Enertwin – a novel low-carbon microturbine based CHP system with 3.2 kW and 15.6 kW electrical and thermal outputs respectively
  • Has an overall efficiency of 94% and electrical efficiency of 16%
  • Has flexibility to operate with a wide range of fuels (e.g. bio-methane, natural gas mixed with up 23% hydrogen, LNG and CNG)
  • Has potential to be altered to research pure hydrogen operation
  • Flexible turndown without a significant loss in efficiency: 1 to 3.2 kWe and 6 to 15.6 kWth
  • CO2 and NOx Emissions reduced by 9.5 tonnes/year
  • Has a rapid start-up: less than 2 minutes
  • Ideal for old houses and buildings as it is primarily a plug-and-play technology (installation costs are low)
  • Low maintenance costs; it has only one moving part
  • Silent and vibration-free (55 dB(A) 1m)
  • Demonstrates low-weight and it does not need therefore structural changes
  • The generator is fully integrated in the microturbine rotor system, avoiding costs and losses of additional couplings and bearing
  • Remote monitoring and control capability ensures more efficient servicing and reduced unnecessary
  • Has been awarded CE certificate by KIWA
