​How does Yanmar’s CHP systems work?

​​When thinking about heat and power for residential or commercial buildings, traditionally two important, but separate, systems come to mind—one for hot water (boiler) and one for electricity (grid). Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems revolutionize this, by combining two independent functions into one comprehensive system. Using natural gas or renewable natural gas. Yanmar’s total solution, manages and generates ample heating while producing electricity to meet the building loads, electric vehicle charging as well as battery storage for any excess energy generated.

• Add more power without infrastructure costs, in minutes.
• Independent power generation, at the point of service.
• Reduced carbon footprint & operational costs.
• Trusted, backbone, on-site energy generation supply to solar and wind micro-grid energy system
• Sustainable, resilient power and climate control, 24/7
• Ease of integration, solar connectivity and more
• Net meter enabled, load shedding, on or off grid reliability

When compared to using hot water boilers in conjunction with conventional power from the grid, Yanmar’s environmentally friendly cogeneration systems are over 50% more efficient. Whether you are replacing your current system or supplementing your established configuration to take advantage of the many benefits Yanmar’s CHP systems offer, along with the significant cost savings over its lifecycl
