ESPE 50 KWE
Manufactured by the Italian company, ESPE, the ESPE 50 KWE provides a renewable solution for small-to-medium sized businesses when it comes to heating and power production. This micro-cogeneration system utilises virgin wood chips as biomass fuel for gasification. The subsequent gas fuel produced is then used to power the unit, enabling the production of both electricity and thermal energy for heating. It can also be used within the otto cycle engine to maximise efficiency up to 90%.
Suitable for a range of different businesses, this model has been designed to provide the best output with the lowest quantity of wood chips. As well as regenerating previously wasted heat and utilising this to create additional energy, you are further able to minimise fuel requirements and ensure your investment returns at a quicker rate. Biomass CHP units, such as the ESPE CHiP50 are recognised for generating a cleaner level of gas products in comparison with other heavy hydrocarbons as well as offering the most versatility with the choice of biomass fuel. Wood chips provide a carbon-neutral solution that is safe to store and the ability to provide up to 7500 hours of thermal and electrical energy per year as well as net electrical productivity of 337.5MWhe.
Energimizer strives to bring our clients the most versatile and technologically advanced CHP methods to help move them towards a low-carbon and energy-efficient heating system.
