We’re using a combined heat and power (CHP) system at an industrial site, but efficiency isn’t as high as expected. Any tips for optimizing performance?
Ensure proper insulation on all steam lines. Heat loss in the distribution system can quickly lower efficiency.
Match the load profiles carefully. Oversizing the system leads to wasted energy and lower efficiency
Use heat exchangers with higher efficiency ratings. Upgrading ours resulted in a 5% overall improvement.
