Sokratherm GmbH products

The compact CHP units of the 50 kW class built by SOKRATHERM for decades are most commonly found in operation. They are mainly installed in mid-sized hotels, swimming pools, district heating centers, schools and nursing homes. By integrating the switchgear inside the sound absorbing case SOKRATHERM was the first producer of compact ready-to-connect CHP units.

The compact CHP units of the 100 kW class belong to our most frequently sold cogeneration units. In this class SOKRATHERM regularly scores one of the top positions in the yearly ranking of the ‚Energie & Management‘ newspaper. Especially the compact CHP unit GG 140 has been installed in a number of larger hotels, industrial sites, district heating centers and schools.

At the start of the new millenium we have entered the 200 kW class by presenting the world’s most compact CHP unit of the 200 kW class at Hannover Messe and in the theme park energy of the EXPO 2000 world exhibition. Since then, we have strenghtened our market position with continuous innovation and regularly hold one of the leading positions in the natural gas powered CHP unit ranking of this class.

Our first compact CHP units of the 400 kW class have been installed late 2003. After several innovation steps in which the CHP unit size was reduced and the power increased the CHP unit type GG 402 introduced in 2007 is the world’s most compact CHP unit of the 400 kW class today.

Core piece of the 500 kW class is the CHP unit type GG 530 which has been presented first time in late 2012, entered serial production in early 2014 and has been applied successfully since then in many objects. Equipped with an advanced MAN 12 cylinder turbo engine it reaches excellent efficiencies (39,7 % electric and 90,9 % total).

Since fall 2023 we once again set new standards by introducing the new compact CHP units of our 700 kW class. Also in this class we supply our cogeneration machinery as a complete unit inside a sound-insulating, compact canope (L x W x H = 4.20 x 1.70 x 2.70 m) with integrated control and power section. Urea injection and Adblue mixing section are built already inside the CHP unit, which has a very space-saving effect on the SCR unit installed behind the CHP unit. The exhaust heat exchanger is mounted in the exhaust path as it fits the CHP project best.
