Abstract
A combined heat, cooling and power system is configured to generate energy as well capture a large percentage of energy that would otherwise be lost using components, including heat transfer components, embedded within a vessel to transfer energy in the form of heat to liquid within the vessel.
Claims10
A combined heat and power system comprising:
- an energy generation sub-system comprising,
- a replaceable engine connected to a plurality of generators and a turbo-generator,
- the generation sub-system further comprising a catalytic converter, embedded in a vessel for storing liquid heated by waste heat from the engine, and configured to be positioned within a distance from the engine, where a temperature of exhaust gases optimizes the operation of the catalytic converter;
- and
- an energy distribution sub-system comprising,
- coils operable to circulate heated coolant received from the energy generation sub-system, and,
- fans operable to direct air over the coils to heat the directed air, and operable to distribute the heated air.

A method for providing heat and power comprising:
- generating electricity and exhaust gases from an engine;
- storing a liquid, heated by waste heat from the engine, in a vessel;
- embedding a catalytic converter in the vessel at a position where a temperature of the exhaust gases optimizes the operation of the catalytic converter;
- and
- circulating heated coolant through coils and directing air over the coils to heat the directed air, and distributing the heated air.
