Warm/hot water production
Microturbines are ideally suited for controlled, decentralized energy supply due to their small power units and excellent operating characteristics (nearly constant efficiency over a wide load spectrum). By using the microturbine in cogeneration, overall efficiencies of up to 86% can be achieved in standard heating systems with temperatures of 60/80°C. Higher efficiencies are possible by optimizing the heat exchanger to the application. For example, we offer a heat exchanger with a thermal capacity of 75kW, achieving an exhaust gas temperature of 65°C. Another possibility results from lowering the operating temperatures or the flow rates, if the heat transfer medium temperature is lowered. Since the microturbine is operated with a lambda of 6-9, the exhaust gas dew point is also very low, so that theoretically exhaust gas temperatures of about 40°C after the heat exchanger are possible without any problems.
