Cogeneration also known as CHP (combined heat and power) is a technology that has been around for centuries, but has become increasingly popular in the last decade due to advancements in energy efficiency and cost savings. Cogeneration technology utilizes heat generated from diesel, natural gas, or steam turbine combustion to produce electricity. This has become a popular option for businesses, hospitals, apartment complexes and other large energy users due to its ability to reduce energy costs, particularly in regions that have higher power tariffs. Two of the most common types of cogeneration technology are CSEA SKF Refining Furnace and VAD Refining Furnace.
CSEA SKF Refining Furnace is a compact, turn-key system composed of a sealed-furnace, water-cooled heat exchanger and control system that can generate 250 kW of power. This technology offers an efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly method of producing electricity. This technology is capable of providing stable operation through numerous burner modifications and offers the flexibility to adjust to varying fuel types and load profiles. The efficiency of the CSEA SKF Refining Furnace is also very high as it can reach up to 80% during peak operation. This system is also equipped with an inert gas which eliminates any combustion residues.
VAD Refining Furnace is a highly advanced technology that can be used for power and heat generation in a range of applications. It is composed of a highly efficient, stainless steel combustor and can generate an output of up to 1 MW of power. The VAD Refining Furnace is designed to offer superior control over fuel quality, and the control system offers advanced intelligence to optimize combustion and maximize energy efficiency. The advanced combustion control system allows for automatic fuel feed and advances temperature control. This is a very reliable system and can easily adjust to varying load profiles. The VAD Refining Furnace also offers great environmental advantages since it produces 99.99% clean exhaust, significantly reducing carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions.
CSEA SKF and VAD Refining Furnaces are both highly efficient and cost effective solutions for cogeneration and CHP technology. Both systems provide reliable and environmentally friendly power generation and offer superior control over fuel quality and temperature control. The higher efficiency rates of these technologies make them great options for businesses, hospitals and apartment complexes that are looking to reduce energy costs and maximize efficiency.
