Selected Problems of Small Biogas Fueled CHP Unit Design

Abstract:

The article presents selected problems related to the design and operation of small chp units used in individual biogas plants. There are presented and commented available design solutions that can match operational and cost-effective requests in relation to the engine, generator type selection, to design solutions of ignition system, fuelling system, waste heat utilization system and control unit. Presented solutions are discussed in terms of the unit reliability, power and heat generation efficiency and overall unit price. In conclusion, there are proposed some optimal design solutions for typical applications of small biogas fuelled chp units
