Trigeneration & CHP absorption cooling.

Engineering and specialist service for CHP-driven absorption cooling — heat balance, integration, commissioning and 24/7 support so jacket and exhaust heat become reliable chilled water year-round.

The logic of trigeneration

CHP heat that would otherwise be rejected becomes cooling.

A typical reciprocating engine produces jacket water around 90 °C and exhaust gas around 450 °C. In winter that heat serves heating. In summer, absorption chillers turn the same streams into chilled water — keeping the engine fully utilised and the site's cooling load off the grid.

Jacket-water driven chillers

Single-effect absorption machines driven by engine jacket water (~80–95 °C) for efficient chilled water.

Exhaust-gas driven chillers

Double-effect or direct-fired machines using high-grade exhaust for higher COP cooling.

Combined circuits

Engineered recovery packages that collect both jacket and exhaust heat and route them optimally.

Year-round economics

Trigeneration improves CHP running hours and payback by creating a summer use for heat.
