This design guide offers a thorough discussion of the theoretical as well as the practical aspects of a cogeneration system design. A brief discussion of the legal and regulatory aspects is followed by a detailed discussion of the prime movers (reciprocating engines, combustion turbines and steam turbines), heat recovery and electrical recovery equipment. There are two case studies (a hospital and an industrial application) to help illustrate the entire design process. ASHRAE Research Project 737.

If there are two phrases we have come to know very well, they are 'environmental awareness' and 'credit crunch'. The world is looking for ways to decrease the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, without incurring major costs in doing so. By increasing efficiencies up to about 90 per cent using well-established and mature technologies, cogeneration represents the best option for short-term reductions in CO2 emission levels.

Cogeneration can now turn up to 90% of the fuel burned into usable energy — compared to just 52% of the fuel typically burned in the local power plant and in a separate existing hot water heating system. The fully updated fourth edition of this comprehensive, bestselling reference provides a wealth of information to assist you in evaluating the feasibility and potential benefits of cogeneration for your facility. Covered in detail are recent regulatory developments and their impact, system selection and sizing, permitting requirements, operation and maintenance, financing, technology basics, micro turbines, absorption chillers, distributed generation, and case histories.
