Abstract

The article presents the results of short-term performance of small AISIN GECC60A2N cogeneration heat and power (CHP) unit classified to the micro-cogeneration. Electric and heat generation efficiency has been assumed as parameters characterizing the operation of the CHP unit. Under test electrical efficiency reach about 23% and thermal efficiency about 44%. Overall efficiency reached about 67%. Article also includes a brief description of the hydraulic and electrical system of CHP unit.
