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.

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.
