Capstone Turbines
Cogeneration solutions for buildings
Servelect – exclusive Capstone dealer in Romania.
What is cogeneration?
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity (to supply various equipment) and thermal heat (used in the form of technological steam, heat or hot water), with the same installation, both types being used as a utility.
Scalable from 30kW to 30MW, Capstone turbine solutions help you produce the electrical and thermal energy you need, with high efficiency, thus becoming the ideal solution to have control over your energy costs.
Even though the electrical and thermal energy needs of a building might vary, Capstone turbines easily modulate their load in the 10% -100% range.

When the cogeneration system is feasible?
If the thermal energy produced by the cogeneration system cannot be used 100% throughout the year, including summer, the economic efficiency of the investment decreases or disappears. The implementation of a cogeneration system is feasible when:
Production of electrical and thermal energy for:
Retail
Hotels & SPA
Office buildings
Hospitals
Data centers
Real estate
Cogeneration: an energy efficiency solution for real estate sector
Cogeneration systems are the ideal solution for real estate developers who want to obtain profits after the buildings are sold.
They have the opportunity to obtain additional long-term profits, after the sale of the buildings, if they own Capstone microturbines and bill the electrical and thermal energy, at low costs, to the new owners.
The benefits of using Capstone turbines …
… compared to alternative technologies
Only one moving part
Patented air bearing technology – no lubricants or coolants needed, longer service intervals, low operating cost.
Over 100 moving parts
All these parts have friction, require periodic lubrication and cooling. Thus, operating and maintenance costs will be higher.
Emissions of 18 mg / m3 NOx compared to 50 mg / m3 required by current legislation
Clean technology, compatible with the legislation in force, the greenhouse gas emissions being extremely low.
Emissions of 500 mg / m3 NOx compared to 200 mg / m3 required by current legislation
They do not comply with European legislation or, in order to comply, require complex and expensive accessories.
Minimal maintenance
Low operating costs and few breaks (max. 6 hours break in the first year of operation), availability of up to 98%.
Frequent maintenance
Maintenance and pauses every 1000/1500 operating hours for changing oils, coolant.
No additional cooling system required
Low maintenance, can work 24/24 regardless of the operation mode.
Require special cooling conditions
Low maintenance, can work 24/24 regardless of the operation mode.
Frequently used for steam production
Simple technological steam production system, with maximum efficiency and low cost.
Challenging when we need steam
It only partially uses the recovered heat to produce steam, due to its own cooling needs.
