Abstract
The invention is directed to a high efficiency cogeneration system capable of creating electricity and usable heat. The invention includes a fuel source, which can be a reservoir filled with a fossil fuel. The fuel source feeds a modified combustion engine that can turn a shaft to power an alternator to create electricity. The combustion engine creates hot gases that are treated by a catalytic converter. The byproduct and hot gases are then fed into one or more cooling manifolds.
Claims15
A cogeneration system capable of generating electricity and usable heat, comprising:
- a modified combustion engine capable of powering an alternator to create electricity;
- a catalytic converter which receives hot gases produced by the modified combustion engine;
- one or more cooling manifolds each containing a plurality of conduits which act as heat exchangers to cool and filter the hot gases;
- and
- a vent capable of removing the filtered hot gases.
