Particularly economical generation of power and heat with CHP units

What could be more economical than using primary energy to generate two types of secondary energy at the same time? This is possible with cogeneration, where combined heat and power units (CHP units) supply electricity and heat at the same time. They are an ideal way to meet the requirements of the energy transition. Economical, efficient and decentralised. Compared to the separate generation of power and heat, they also have considerably higher efficiency.

Vitobloc 300 NG 15/NG 20: economical and efficient

The new compact Vitobloc 300 NG 15 and NG 20 (NG = natural gas) CHP units from Viessmann differ in their electrical and thermal output (15 kWel/38.3 kWth; 20 kWel/46.5 kWth).

Vitobloc 300 – compact, quiet and supplied ready-to-connect

Vitobloc 300 NG 15 and NG 20 are compact, ready-to-connect units with water-cooled synchronous generators for producing three-phase power and heating water. With their low operating noise of less than 54 dB(A) and small space requirement, they are recommended for a broad scope of applications, such as in new build and modernisation projects. The certified CHP units are equipped with integral grid and system protection as standard and are designed for mains substitution mode.

Meets the connection requirements of power supply utilities

The units meet the stringent current and future technical connection conditions (TAB) of power supply utilities in Germany. Thanks to the intelligent electronic platform, the power supply phase (cos phi) can be shifted via the software. This eliminates the need for additional hardware modifications.

Equipped for the future

The technology that enables the use of natural gas/hydrogen blends for heating buildings is already available and on the market in many thousands of cases. In principle, the Vitobloc 300 type NG 15/NG 20 CHP units can already be operated with 20 percent hydrogen today. Opting for this advanced CHP unit is an excellent way to prepare for the future.

The picture shows the H2 ready 20 % logo, which means that the unit can be operated with blends of up to 20 % hydrogen.

Special features of the Vitobloc 300

Maintenance is only required after every 8000  hours run. This means that just one annual service is usually sufficient.

The pipework is pre-assembled at the factory and insulated where necessary. It connects the most important elements of the CHP unit (coolant heat exchanger, exhaust gas heat exchanger and engine). For the purpose of vibration isolation, all pipe joints are provided with metal expansion joints or flexible hose connections and are designed as flanged or flat-gasket threaded connections. The engine is filled at the factory with a water/glycol mixture, circulated by an electric coolant pump, to protect against corrosion.

The integral condensing technology enables overall efficiency of up to 107  percent. The resulting low exhaust gas temperature means that an inexpensive plastic exhaust system can be used. This simplifies the hydraulic connection and a return temperature raising facility is not required.

New electronic platform with innovative functions

The electronic platform with the ViNCI module developed by Viessmann is used to control the CHP unit. The core element of the control unit is a Linux-based industrial computer. This allows connection to innovative remote services and interfaces for communication in multi mode systems and building management systems (BMS). Cloud-based data management meets the highest security standards. The system naturally allows remote web-based visualisation and operation on professional backend solutions.

  • No need for on-site service calls with the associated costs High availability and reliability

Remote access via professional interfaces

The Vitobloc electronic platform enables monitoring of the CHP units from anywhere. Useful conclusions can be drawn about potential optimisation measures while the unit is operational, which can help to boost efficiency.

The available data enables better planning of servicing work and faster responses by the CHP service team. With remote access, on-site maintenance is no longer needed, which saves on costs and increases the availability and reliability of the CHP unit.
