Overview

1763 - 2519 kW Gas Generator

The CHP2500 is an enclosure standardized for natural gas-fueled Cat® G3520H engines rated 2.5 MW, with generator rated for 4160V for combined heat and power (CHP) applications. In CHP applications, Cat gas generator sets simultaneously provide electricity for electrical loads and heat energy for a facility's thermal requirements. Caterpillar will offer customers complete CHP solutions eliminating the need to outsource additional engineering or project management.

Benefits

Up to 5% owning & operating cost savings

Higher electrical efficiency paired with extended maintenance intervals increases uptime and reduces costs

Up to 84% Package Combined Efficiency

Combined facility soultion simultaneously providing 42.4% electricity efficiency for electrical loads and 42.3% thermal efficiency for heat energy demands.

Overall Length 63 ft Standardized Enclousure

Designed and built for robustness, safety and transportability. Leading to ease of installation and reduce lead time for implementing of CHP projects.
