Combined Heat and Power Design Guide
Combined Heat and Power Design Guide written by industry experts to give system designers a current, authoritative guide on implementing combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The Combined Heat and Power Design Guide provides a consistent and reliable approach to assessing any site’s potential to economically use CHP systems.
This guide provides up-to-date application and operational information about prime movers, heat recovery devices, and thermally activated technologies; technical and economic guidance regarding CHP systems design, site screening, and assessment guidance and tools; and installation, operation, and maintenance advice. As well as a glossary of terms, the book features extensive, detailed case studies on implementations in university, industrial, and hotel settings. Information is presented in both Inch-Pound (I-P) and International System (SI) units.

combined heat and power (CHP) design guides have focused on design and development features of major system components, including reciprocating engine internal structural and wearing surface design, combustion turbine aerodynamics, microturbine recuperator flexural modulus, and heat exchanger design fouling factors.
Although these elements are critical to develop high-performing and reliable components, they are not of particular interest to an engineering practitioner seeking to understand and apply a CHP system to a specific application. This design guide provides
application and operational information about prime movers, heat recovery devices, thermally activated technologies; technical and economic guidance regarding CHP systems design, site screening and assessment guidance and tools; and installation, operation, and maintenance advice.
