Baxi is engaged in a variety of micro-CHP (combined heat and power) technologies including Internal Combustion Engine, Free Piston Stirling Engine and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. Internal Combustion Engine is suitable for commercial applications and offers long life and fast start up. Free Piston Stirling Engine is more suited to domestic applications as it is reliable and has low noise characteristics. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell is a future technology which offers very high electrical efficiencies and low carbon emissions.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is an energy conversion process where heat and electricity are produced in a single process, near to the site where they are to be used. This helps avoid significant energy losses during the transportation from site of generation to point of use.
There are numerous benefits accompanying CHP. CHP plants can be up to 95% efficient and can immediately reduce CO2 emissions. This is in part due to the fact that combined heat and power uses many different renewable fuels to generate electricity, such as biomass, solar and wind.
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 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.
Our range of SEDBUK Band A rated high efficiency gas boilers are suitable for all property types and provide high levels of efficiency and reliability.
