Compact CHP units of the 500 kW class

In contrast to conventional CHP units of this power class which normally are delivered in single parts and mounted on site, our compact CHP units are delivered also in the 500 kW class after a thorough testbench run as a complete unit. With fully integrated control and power section as well as SCR catalyst and heat exchanger they do not need external components and can be commissioned within a few days.

With the dimensions of 4,0 x 1,5 x 2,6 m (L x B x H) they form, as the world’s most compact cogeneration unit in this power range, the master class of the 500 kW class. They can be set up in narrow heating rooms and, being equipped with a triple vibration dampening, usually need no separate baseplate.

Core piece of the 500 kW class is the CHP unit type GG 530 which 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 % in total). In the sewage gas and biogas segment, additionally to the classic FG 530 type, the compact CHP unit FG 530e is available. The „e“ marks the especially high electrical efficiency of the CHP unit type.

Most prominent application examples of this type are the Energiebunker in Hamburg, the pilot Flex-KWK project Oberhausen-Barmingholten (article, German) which proves for over six years the feasibility of power market oriented district heating with CHP unit and electric boiler and the Tierpark Berlin in which two GG 530 units provide heat and power for roughly 200 buildings since summer 2021.

CHP units of the 500 kW class:

Natural gas: GG 530 reduced to 499 kWel, GG 530
Sewage gas: FG 530, FG 530e

Gain from the advantages of our compact CHP unit

The compact CHP units of the 500 kW class have all core characteristics of SOKRATHERM cogeneration units:

  • very compact design by perfect constrution for cost-efficient installation also in narrow rooms,
  • minimal istallation cost by ready-to-connect construction with integrated switchgear cabinet,
  • excellent efficiency by making best use of energy contained in the fuel gas,
  • best protection of the environment by operating the gas egine in the range with lowest emissions,
  • lowest sound emissions by excellent sound isolation and vibration decoupling,
  • best availability by fully automatic operation with the internet based remote monitoring and control,
  • highest reliabiliy and therefore low operation and maintenance cost.

or short: Compact, efficient and reliable.
