Cogeneration - the perfect transformation of energy
|
|
Cogeneration units are equipment for the combined production of electricity and heat. The
main characteristics of cogeneration technology is the high efficiency of energy production and the significant fuel savings as compared to separate production, and this has a considerable influence on both ecology and the economics of production. |

|
| |
Electricity and heat from a single source |
| |
Electricity generated in cogeneration units can be used for consumption by the building in which
the machine is situated, or it can be supplied to the network. Heat from cogeneration units is used
to heat the building, to prepare hot water or for technological heating. |
| |
|
| |
Energy in an emergency |
| |
Cogeneration units are also used as emergency sources of electricity in places where an
uninterrupted supply is necessary. |
| |
|
| |
Tri-generation |
| |
By means of absorptive coolers it is possible to use heat produced by cogeneration for the
production of cooling for technological purposes or air conditioning. In such cases we are talking
of tri-generation, the combined production of electricity, heat and cooling. |

|
| |
Why install cogeneration |
|
The correctly chosen cogeneration technology is able to save a major part of energy purchase costs
for its user, and in the event of the sale of electricity to the network it can earn money. |
