Generation of heating water. Cogeneration systems capture excess heat from the engine, which can be used to generate heating water that can then be utilized by local or district heating systems to cover their basic heat requirements. Peak heat demand can be covered through the combined use of a buffer and a peak boiler. Due to varying heat demands during the year, multi-engine- installations are the preferred solution for district heating systems. Steam production and drying processes. Roughly 50% of the thermal energy generated in a gas engine consists of exhaust gas heat with a temperature of approximately 400°to 500°C and can be utilized for the production of steam. The.
