Combined heat and power (CHP) generation with MWM gas engines is a highly energy-efficient technology for the simultaneous generation of heat and power. It uses the waste heat generated during electricity production\u2014which usually remains unused in conventional power plants\u2014to supply heat e.g. for buildings, processes, or district heating networks. The combined generation enables an overall plant efficiency of up to 90 percent, which not only reduces fuel consumption, but also significantly improves the profitability and environmental balance.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”info” module_class=”section light” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D4EAFB” top_divider_color=”#ffffff” top_divider_height=”70px” top_divider_flip=”horizontal” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”1200px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
In a cogeneration power plant, a powerful MWM gas engine drives a generator that produces electricity. At the same time, the engine cooling protects the engine by extracting the heat, while the heat exchanger extracts the heat from the exhaust gas and makes use of its energy. Combined generation thus ensures maximum utilization of the fuel used and significantly reduced carbon emissions compared to separate generation of heat and power.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The high thermal energy of the exhaust gas heat can be used to produce steam from water using steam generators. This steam can be utilized in various ways, e.g. in industrial processes, to heat buildings, or in district heating networks. In larger plants, the steam can even drive a steam turbine to generate more electricity. MWM offers not only efficient gas engines, but also CHP plants with steam generators tailored to the respective application.

CCHP (combined cooling, heat and power) generation, also known as trigeneration, is a highly efficient way to generate heat, power, and cold at the same time. In addition to the functions of a conventional CHP plant, an absorption chiller converts the exhaust gas heat into cold, which can be used to cool buildings such as hospitals, hotels, or shopping centers, for production processes, or for food storage.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”faq” module_class=”section light” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”1200px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”FAQ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_accordion icon_color=”#004B72″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_level=”h3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does combined heat and power (CHP) generation with MWM gas engines work?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
CHP technology concurrently generates heat and power in a cogeneration power plant. An MWM gas engine drives a generator that produces electricity, while the resulting waste heat is used for heating purposes. Thus, the fuel is used twice as efficiently, increasing the overall efficiency to up to 90 percent.<\/p>\n

MWM CHP plants are scalable and suitable for deployment in many areas, from residential areas, municipal utilities, and industrial plants to hospitals and biogas plants. They increase the energy efficiency and security of supply and are suitable for grid-parallel operation, peak load coverage, or as an emergency power solution.<\/p>\n

MWM gas engines are versatile and run on various types of gas, such as natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas, and mine gas. Moreover, it is already possible to operate these engines with natural gas with a hydrogen admixture of up to 25 vol%. Thus, they are ready for future energy supply requirements.<\/p>\n
