A Residential CHP Unit Using a Free Piston Stirling Engine

sml_micochp_internal is part of the Group, one of Europe’s leading heating and home comfort specialists. The company has developed a Micro-CHP unit, the Ecogen, a free Piston which will generate useable electricity as well as heat for the home. 

Ecogen is a microgeneration unit that generates 1kW of electricity per hour that can be used in the home, while providing up to 24kW of thermal output for space heating and hot water.  It has been developed to operate virtually noise free, in a casing that is no bigger than a standard domestic boiler. The Ecogen is currently on extensive field trials in the , with the aim that it will be commercially available during 2009.
