Heating orHeat transfer from combustion gas to water
The problem
Known by many names: Co-generation, CHP, “total energy” or in German “Kraft Wärme Kopplung” or “BHKW”. All stands for the simultaneous generation of heat and power. It encompasses a range of technologies, but will always include an electrical generator and a heat recovery system. The principle behind cogeneration is simple. Conventional power generation on average is only 35% efficient – up to 65% of the energy potential is released as waste heat. Cogeneration reduces this loss by using the heat for industry, commerce and home heating/cooling.
A key component in the cogeneration systems is the combustion gas heat exchanger that transfers the energy from the hot combustion gas to water.
The solution - Airec, “the largest revolution in our industry in the last decade”
Many experts say that Airec´s asymmetrical design is a superior heat transfer solution for the combustion gas with a potential to revolutionize the whole cogeneration industry.
Compared to traditional shell-and-tubes heat exchangers Airec´s asymmetrical design offers up to 40% higher heat transfer capacity despite the fact that weight and size are reduced up to 90%.
