Shenton - Combined Heat & Power (CHP) System
Combined Heat & Power is a gas fuelled reciprocating piston engine, driven by three CHP fuel types- natural gas, biogas, or LPG. The CHP engine drives an alternator to generate electricity. The heat from the CHP engine is then recovered and made available as hot water or steam. This gives the best efficiency from the use of the fuel consumed, and provides very low cost power and heat energy to the client. On certain combined heat and power models we can even recover waste heat from the alternator, further increasing efficiency.

The many benefits of using a CHP unit include energy savings, carbon reduction, and greater electrical resilience.
- Reduced heat and electricity bills
- Reduced carbon footprint and CO2 emissions
- A unique ability to be able to modulate down to 50% of the maximum electrical output
- Choose between truly fixed maintenance costs or costs based on run hours
- Water cooled alternators on some of the units which mean no hot air discharge ductwork is needed keeping installation costs to a minimum
- The ability to synchronise with a mains utility supply and standby generator, or both at once
