Cogeneration Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat from wood. In comparison to conventional power generation, where a lot of heat is lost unused to the environment, cogeneration uses this waste heat for district- or process heating. The power-heat cogeneration is an efficient, practical, tested and proven energy saving technology for the protection of the environment and its resources. Through Cogeneration the deployed fuels are utilized up to 95 % and more. According to the customers individual requirements Kohlbach’s power-heat combinations are realized with conventional steam technology or with the innovative ORC-technology (Organic Rankine Cycle). This technology is best suitable for small CHP-facilities with electrical outputs of 200 kW–1.600 kW. Kohlbach ORC Cogeneration is distinguished by: Attendant free and fully automatic operation Pressureless boiler operation Higher total plant efficiency Excellent performance also with partial load conditions Low operating costs and reliable power availability Proven and durable technology Simply to install in existing Kohlbach units Further information on the ORC-procedure are available on this website. Kohlbach’s Cogeneration Solutions with Steam-Technologies: In a gas tube boiler saturated steam is created up to 32 bar. Depending upon the respective concept the electricity generation is conducted in a one- or multi stage turbine or in a steam engine. A small selection of the cogeneration facilities by Kohlbach are shown in our references. >> further pictures...
