Maximize Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings 

Caterpillar Combined Heat and Power Systems

Combined heat and power is a type of distributed generation that produces thermal energy and electricity from a single energy source. CHP solutions capture the heat that would otherwise be lost for heating or cooling.

This technology provides clean, reliable power generation and thermal energy solutions. Your company can save on heating and electricity, reduce energy costs, and simplify power generation.

Common CHP Configuration

The most common type of combined heat and power generator systems — also called cogeneration systems — is combustion turbine or reciprocating engine systems. These systems burn biogas, oil or natural gas to turn generators and produce electricity. The heat recovery devices capture the engine or turbine’s heat, converting it into thermal energy in the form of hot water or steam.

Combined Heat and Power Applications

These types of facilities and buildings benefit from cogeneration systems:

Municipal applications include schools, wastewater treatment facilities, power generation and district energy systems.

Nursing homes, hotels, office buildings, malls, airports, health clubs and other commercial spaces can use combined heat and power for energy savings.

Manufacturers that can use CHP include those in glass, pulp and paper processing, refining, chemical, ethanol, and food processing.

Residential facilities include planned communities, co-ops, apartments and condominiums.

Institutions like colleges and universities, military bases, prisons, and hospitals use CHP.
