The cogeneration system recycles heat released from electrical generating equipment and efficiently uses it as a heating source. It is ideal for buildings and factories that require much heating and cooling throughout the year.
The system can be used at night when electricity rates are lower, which reduces contracted electricity. Operating costs can be reduced 40 percent when cogeneration is used. |
| Simulataneous generation of heat and electricity realizes large energy savings |
|
| Connection to back-up power supply ensures heat and electricity even during disasters |

Buildings suitable for the cogeneration system
Referring to the ratio of heat recovered to power generated and the ratio of heat required to electricity required as the heat/electricity ratio, the high ratio means potential of the high exhaust heat usage ratio and makes the cogeneration system the perfect choice. |
