Wärtsilä gas and heavy fuel oil engines are very well suited for hot water generation or district heating applications. The Wärtsilä CHP plant is connected to the customer's hot water or district heating system and operates efficiently and flexibly, producing both power and heat in parallel with other hot water generators connected to the customer's system. Depending on the incoming and outgoing temperature levels of the hot or district heating water all engine cooling water and other heat sources can be utilized.
The Wärtsilä CHP plant operates with very high electrical and total efficiencies. Regardless of the heat recovery application, the electrical efficiency is above 44%, while the total efficiency of the plant can sometimes reach 95%.
Modular design
The auxiliary equipment in an engine plant is designed and prefabricated as functional skids or modules connected to the engine itself. Although the heat recovery system is highly standardized, the design covers most customer needs and operates flexibly through both the cold and warm seasons, winter and summer.
