MICROCOGENERATOR
Made in ItalyCostumised energy
Micro-cogeneration is currently one of the most efficient methods to generate heat and electricity from fossil fuels.
The AISIN (MCHP) gas Micro-Cogeneration System simultaneously produces electrical and thermal energy right at the user’s site, that is, without waste and while using the clean energy of gas (natural gas or LPG).
The specifically designed endothermic engine, manufactured on the basis of TOYOTA’s experience, drives a synchronous generator that can supply up to 6 kW of electrical power also when responding the user’s needs instantaneously; at the same time, its modern technology allows recovering the heat otherwise dissipated by the engine with a power of 11.7 kW, available for the production of hot water up to a temperature of 65°C (for domestic use, general heating purposes, heating of pools, and post-heating of large air conditioning systems such as Air Treatment Units for large premises).
Advantages
Economy
- Designed to reduce losses to a minimum: the AISIN micro-
- cogeneration system converts almost the entire primary energy source into electrical energy and heat. Its overall efficiency is 85%; thus, either natural gas or LPG are exploited at their best.
- Cost Reduction: the principle of cogeneration allows obtaining heat through the same mechanism that generates electricity consequently benefitting from two energy sources at the price of one.
- The reliability of the endothermic TOYOTA engine, specifically designed, has a positive effect on operating costs: more than 40,000 hours of operation reached with only minimal ordinary maintenance and extra low costs; usual filters and sparking plugs replacement every 10,000 hours, and complete oil replacement and engine service every 30,000 hours.
Ecology
To the age-old pollution problem, MCHP replies with good news for the environment: a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions respect to the standard production of separate electricity and heating systems.
The widespread use of AISIN micro-cogeneration systems would make the construction of power plants and nuclear plants unnecessary while simultaneously resolving the issue of the emission of toxic substances and the concentration of polluting agents.
Operation
The MCHP’s main strength is its extreme flexibility.
Two operating modes allow the equipment to be completely suitable for any need. In addition, its integration with other energy saving systems (photovoltaic plants and solar heating systems) is always possible.
Modulating Output
When in this operating mode, the AISIN MicroCogeneration System produces electricity by modulating, that is by varying, the power supplied through the inverter on the basis of the user’s power demand in that instant, in the range between 0.3 kW and 6 kW.
The heat recovered, also variable, is transferred to the storage tank of the heat generator system.
Heat Control
When in this operating mode, the AISIN Micro-Cogeneration System produces its maximum electrical (6kW) and thermal (11.7kW) power. Propeller operation is controlled by the thermal request of the building through a specific thermostat placed on the storage tank of the heat generator system.
Any unused excess of current that is not self-used is sent to the power line on the basis of the net metering contract.
