Combined heat and power modules

Buderus Combined heat and power (CHP) modules

Our combined heat and power (CHP) offers a more efficient way to generate heat and electrical power, compared to conventional methods.

Available from 34kWth to 374kWth (19kWe to 240kWe)

How it works


Our CHP module consists of a gas engine, a generator and a heat exchanger system. The gas fuelled piston engine drives the generator to produce three-phase electrical power, which feeds into the mains low voltage distribution system, where it can be used locally or exported to the national grid.

Heat is produced as a by-product of the power generated, which in a conventional power station would be wasted. However, the heat generated by a Buderus CHP is used to generate hot water via the integral heat exchangers. This hot water may be used for space heating, process heating or heating of domestic hot water.

When the hot water is not required immediately, it can be stored in a suitable storage vessel for later use.

Features

  • High efficiency gas combustion engines from Volkswagen and MAN
  • Modulate outputs from 50 to 100%, to match the building's daily heating requirements
  • Integrated intelligent control system - including colour touch screen display
  • Highly efficient modulating air-cooled synchronous generator (EN50 module and above)
  • Integrated lubricated reservoir and starter batteries for security and space saving
  • Integrated primary gas silencer with options for additional secondary and tertiary silencing
  • Primary and secondary air outlet silencers available to provide additional noise reduction (EN50 module and above)

CHP controls

  • For single modules the Buderus 4000 controller using an FM444 module can be used to integrate with back up boilers
  • Standard buffer control module for single units where the overall control is from a BMS
  • Premium buffer control for up to two CHP modules under overall BMS control
  • Optional BUS connection the CHP can be connected to a higher control unit such as a BMS
  • Multi-Module System control (MMS) for modular configuration of three or more CHP units being used, the CHP modules and any auxiliary heat sources can be controlled via the MMS

Optional service contracts


Our combined heat and power units are supported with a choice of optional 10* year service contracts - Premium and Premium Plus - both designed to offer the user complete peace of mind.

The contracts are transferable with the ownership of the property, and include:
  • Scheduled engine overhauls
  • Incorporating parts, labour and engine replacement if necessary
  • Disposing of waste oil in an environmentally friendly manner.
