Boulden - Cogeneration Hot Water & Steam Systems

Cogeneration systems are made up of many components, including:

• The prime mover: used to run the generator
• The fuel system: provides fuel to power the engine
• The generator: generates the electricity
• The heat recovery system: captures usable heat produced by the engine
• The cooling system: dissipates heat that cannot be used
• The combustion and ventilation air systems: supplies clean air and removes emissions
• The control system: ensures operations proceed as intended
• The enclosure: protects the engine and operators, reduces noise

Cogeneration can be highly beneficial for facilities. Some of the main benefits of cogeneration systems are:

• Increased efficiency
• Enhanced output
• Reduced operational costs
• Decreased water use
• Lowered emission rates
