Trigeneration/CCHP

Trigeneration or combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP), is the process by which some of the heat produced by a cogeneration plant is used to generate chilled water for air conditioning or refrigeration. An absorption chiller is linked to the combined heat and power (CHP) to provide this functionality. Quadgeneration takes this process one step further with the addition of systems to purify carbon dioxide from the engine exhaust. Combined cooling and power (CCP) is where electricity and cooling are utilised alone.
