Associated causal chains
This component is part ofInstallation causal chains— from cause to effect (gas quality → engine → exhaust gas → heat → efficiency). The AI reads the entire chain, not just the individual value.
Link with the entire installation
A CHP unit is never alone: electricity, heat and gas are linked, and with PV and battery storage, it becomes a system. The AI calculates the entire installation.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a CHP unit an effective solution in terms of CO2?
A CHP unit uses the waste heat from the electricity production process, which reduces the primary energy required compared to separate installations.
How does biogas influence the CO2 balance of a CHP unit?
Biogenic gas is considered almost carbon neutral in the balance, as it uses the natural carbon cycle.
Why is the exhaust gas temperature important for the balance?
The temperature after the catalyst (e.g. 469,3 °C) provides indications on combustion efficiency and heat recovery quality.
From when is a CHP unit considered carbon neutral?
A CHP unit is considered almost neutral when it runs on biogas and the heat produced replaces fossil fuels.
How is primary energy saving calculated?
The saving results from the difference between the energy demand for separate production and the combined process of the CHP unit.
What role does the substitution factor play?
Only the heat that actually replaces a fossil heat source contributes to a positive CO2 balance.
