Cogeneration
Combined Cooling Heat & Power Generation.
One fuel input - multiple outputs:
boosts efficiency from 35% to 80% thus cutting the fuel cost by 20% to 40%!!!
Cogeneration is the best way to use your primary energy input like diesel, gas or kerosine due to simultaneous generation of hot water, steam, process heat or cold water for cooling. By doing this you increase energy efficiency by factor 2 or up to 85% compared to 35 % to 40% when electricity is the sole useful output. As often more than 50% of the electric load comes from a/c especially at hotels, shopping malls, factories and office buildings. Energy cost can be reduced by 30%.
