Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an extremely efficient technology that converts gas or biogas into electricity and heat in a single process at the point of use.
The Qnergy micro Cogeneration (Micro CHP) unit is designed to provide both heat and power for light commercial or large residential applications.
This innovative product uses an advanced technology to satisfy the energy requirements of the facility and do it quietly, efficiently, and with ultra low emissions. Qnergy can operate on a wide range of fuel types which will provide the best value to the customer.
RANGE – Qnergy 7.5 kWe units that can be “cascaded” together to meet the demands of larger on- site applications. A Qnergy 3.5kWe unit is under development.
Operates with various fuels including natural gas, oil, solar, wood, biomass and biogas
Unique Stirling engine with an extremely efficient combustion process, See below for “how it works”
Operational efficiency of up to 95%, providing the best value to the customer
Thermal efficiency of 83% (LHV)
Zero maintenance required
Great alternative for boiler replacements in any facility where there is a heat requirement.
Multiple systems can be “cascaded” together to meet the demands of larger on- site applications.
Biogas & Natural Gas fired Micro CHP
Using the highly efficient Stirling Cycle thermodynamic process, Qnergy’s free-piston Stirling engine (FPSE) can create electricity from virtually any heat source. The heat input creates a temperature differential across the engine causing the helium inside the sealed chamber to expand and contract, which in turn drives the reciprocating motion of the piston. The FPSE directly converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into electrical power via linear alternator.
The Qnergy engine has fewer moving parts than traditional kinematic Stirling engines, and no direct-contact points that cause wear and require lubrication. Thus, the Qnergy engine is truly a maintenance free technology that offers long-life performance. These two key features make it an ideal power source for combined heat and power applications.

YANMAR Micro Cogeneration units use Natural Gas or Biogas to produce electricity on site and transform waste heat into space heating, domestic hot water or process heat depending on each site’s power and heating requirements.
RANGE – The range includes 5kW, 10kW and 25kW units and have efficiencies of up to 85%, as compared to the 25% efficiency of coal-fired grid-supplied electricity.
Plug and play –Compact, stand alone “plug and play” units, with integrated dump radiator, ventilation and inverter.
Outdoor or indoor installation
Daisy Chained – The Yanmar units can be “daisy-chained” for increased output and will load follow to suit any site’s instantaneous electricity demand.
Flexible installation – Compact units for outdoor or indoor installation with a low operational noise
Monitoring – All units have remote monitoring and diagnostics capabilities
Reliable operation – 10,000 hour maintenance interval
Applications – Perfect for aged care facilities, aquatic centres, hotels and pubs
