Core piece of the 500 kW class is the CHP unit type GG 530 which has been presented first time in late 2012, entered serial production in early 2014 and has been applied successfully since then in many objects. Equipped with an advanced MAN 12 cylinder turbo engine it reaches excellent efficiencies (over 40 % electric and 90 % total). In may 2014, our GG 530 in the energy bunker Hamburg has been awarded with the first Deutscher TGA Award 2014 (German article, 237 kB) and a few months later our to date largest GG 530 project has been erected in a steel plant in Slovenia. This CHP unit type is also applied in the Flex-KWK project Oberhausen-Barmingholten which explores the possibilities of power market oriented district heating with CHP unit and electric boiler.
Further CHP unit types of the 500 kW class also for sewage gas or biogas operation are available. In contrast to conventional CHP units of this power class which normally are delivered in single parts and mounted on site, this compact CHP unit is delivered after a thorough testbench run as a complete unit and can therefore be installed and commissioned on site within a few days.
With the dimensions of 3,7 x 1,5 x 2,6 m (L x B x H) it is the world’s most compact cogeneration unit of the 500 kW class and can be set up in narrow heating rooms. Being equipped with a triple vibration dampening, usually no separate baseplate is necessary.
Natural gas: GG 530
Sewage gas: FG 530, FG 530e
The compact CHP units of the 500 kW class have all core characteristics of SOKRATHERM cogeneration units:
or short: Compact, efficient and reliable.
