Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a process where the heat that is invariably produced during electricity production is captured and re-used.
This helps to avoid significant energy losses and to reduce CO2 emissions. As a result Combined Heat and Power units (which use renewable fuels such as wood burning biomass, solar and wind) can be up to 95% efficient.
Baxi is at the forefront of developing new micro-CHP technologies. These are ideal for use in houses or smaller commercial settings.
The Government's Microgeneration Strategy has identified micro-CHP as one of the key technologies offering a realistic alternative to centrally generated electricity and it has recently introduced the Feed-in Tariff, giving funding to organisations and households that use these technologies.
The range of innovative and award winning micro-CHP products from Baxi are listed below.
The Baxi Ecogen is an award winning dual energy system for the home, it not only provides highly efficient gas central heating and hot water, it also generates low cost, low carbon electricity in the process. By generating your own electricity you can expect to save up to £600 on your annual fuel bill. The Baxi Ecogen is now commercially available.
The Baxi SenerTec Dachs mini-CHP unit (combined heat and power) uses a reliable internal combustion engine fed from a single source of fuel such as natural gas or LPG. The combined heat and power system generates 5.5kW of electricity while providing 12.5kW of heat.
The GAMMA 1.0 system consists of three components: the fuel cell heating unit, the heat storage unit and the energy manager. When they are adjusted to one another to best suit requirements, they generate the greatest possible potential for energy and CO2 savings.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is recognised as one of the key technologies to offer a realistic alternative to centrally generated electricity.
Installing a combined heat and power system brings significant financial and environmental benefits
