Field applications and lessons learned: Gas-fuelled microturbines in the brick and tile industry

摘要

Combined heat and power generation, or CHP, with its high overall efficiency, is both ecologically beneficial and economically attractive. The brick and tile industry, with its continuous demand for electricity and heat, has recognized the CHP potential. Due, however, to the manner of heat generation involved, motor-based solutions are not widely disseminated. The technological specifics of gas-fuelled microturbines serving as CHP units, especially with regard to the direct utilization of the exhaust heat content, are helping them gain access to new areas of application in the brick and tile industry.
