CHP Applications

There are three principal categories of CHP applications, which can be summarised as:

• Large Scale with and output greater than 1 MW
• Small Scale with and output less that 1 MW
• Micro CHP with and output less that 50 kW

CHP Ireland Ltd allows end users to benefit from the technology by allowing them to generate their own Electricity and Heat (Cooling where required) and by doing so reduce their energy costs considerably. By utilising the heat generated by the generation process significant cost saving are achieved in the process. In our standard CHP applications the heat generated by the Gas Fired installation is recovered and can be used where needed by way of Hot Water or Steam dependant of the end users requirements and systems.

Many of our large-scale CHP installations can be Gas Turbine or Spark Ignition Gas Engines. The turbine or engine drives the generator which in turn produces Electricity, the exhaust gases are then passed through a recovery unit which in turn provides the heat required for the site, this can be in either steam or hot water dependant of the end users requirements and internal systems. Where additional steam or hot water is required burning the oxygen rich gases can efficiently produce this, this process is known as after firing. This allows the installation to increase heat output with the facility to moderate heat production without affecting Electricity Generation. As with all CHP installations small or large scale Electricity can be imported from or exported to the National Grid as the demand on the site varies.

The selection of the correct unit for your site can be tailored by out expert team who will factor in the existing requirements for Power and heat along with any forward projections or requirements you may have. A fully tailored system can be designed for your site with clear savings shown to you, This service is available free of charge along with a full energy audit which enables you to compare your existing costs with our proposals allowing you to proceed with confidence to your CHP installation with CHP Ireland Ltd. With over twenty years of experience and expertise in the CHP industry we are best placed to offer you the complete CHP package from design and installation through to maintenance. Alternatively we can offer you a turn key no outlay system where you merely pick up the savings on your Heat and Power costs and we supply, install and maintain the system and sell you the Heat and Power at heavily discounted rates to those available to commercial customers in Ireland at present and into the future.

Gas turbine development in recent years has made the combined heat and power generation more attractive to commercial and industrial installations. By changing from separate Electricity and Heat Generation sources to a single combined Heat and Power unit provided by CHP Ireland based on your site, you will enjoy considerable energy cost savings along with a secure source of energy provided by a proven technology.
