Yanmar Cogeneration (CHP) Systems
Power & Heat Energy @ Point of Service
Through LSM Energy Solutions, Yanmar offers a wide range of cogeneration systems (CHP units) from 5 kW to 150 kW, that provide efficient generation of electrical power and hot water for hydronic applications. Convenient and with whisper quiet operation they have been specifically designed to be positioned beside any building at the point of service (behind the meter).
With a wide range of output capacities Yanmar's cogeneration solutions can be used as a single unit in residential or commercial applications, or paired and connected together in multi-unit system commercial applications, to provide power and heat energy to a whole spectrum of buildings in which people live, work and play.

Yanmar's Proven Technology - World Leader
Yanmar’s Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems use an internal combustion engine, powered by clean natural gas or propane, to produce both heat and electric power, recovering the waste heat energy. The unit efficiency utilizes up to 88% of the fuel burn versus 33% burn rate of conventional, from-the-grid sources, as found here in Canada. As a world leader in energy efficient solutions with over 110 years of proven experience, Yanmar continues to receive awards for its solutions that have been designed to work year-round, in some of Canada’s toughest climate conditions.

Yanmar's Efficiency Comparison
Yanmar's CHP Benefits
Maximum EfficiencyBy utilizing a highly efficient engine and capturing nearly all of the remaining energy as heat, the heat and power producing Yanmar CHP system can be up to 2.6 times as efficient as conventional centralized power.
|
Low EmissionsBy using energy efficiently, your carbon footprint can be reduced by as much as 50% over conventional means. According to U.S. EPA CHP Partnership calculations, a Yanmar 10kW CHP system can reduce enough greenhouse gases to offset the carbon footprint of seven cars on U.S. roads.
|
Economic SavingsAs electric prices continue to increase, you can benefit from significant utility bill cost savings by switching to abundant natural gas or propane.
|
Energy IndependentBy using a Yanmar CHP system as your primary power source, you are no longer solely reliant on the grid for your company’s viability or personal comfort. You now have the option to have power when the grid fails or in remote areas not currently served.
|
Whisper QuietYanmar CHP Units are reliably quiet.
|
Power & Heat 24/7With Yanmar CHP’s blackout start option, you can ensure your heat and electricity remains uninterrupted even during a power failure or temporary service interruption. High efficiency inverters convert Yanmar CHP’s generated electrical output into DC voltage and frequency with built-in protection and a synchronization device required for grid interconnections.
