Combined Heat & Power: how it works

http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/efficiencity

CHP is the heart of an efficient, decentralised energy system. It's the most efficient way possible to burn fuel because so little energy is lost as waste heat. That's how CHP plants in Denmark can reach up to 95 per cent efficiency.

Because the heat needs to be captured and piped around the local district, CHP plants are usually sited in the towns and cities where the electricity and heat will be used. This makes it more efficient for electricity generation as well as heat; very little energy is lost in transmission. For more information visit http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/efficiencity

Pretty standard heat recovery system...

see new invention

I am fan of Tesla. I believe his steam efficiency of 90% + was not referring to the turbine efficiency but to the efficiency of the boiler that drove it. In other words his boiler had a heat recovery system that kicked ass. He was recirculating the heat back into the feed water from the exhaust. You got some air conditioning principles going on here that work on the principle of a turbo charger only instead of putting back mechanical pressure into the intake he was putting heat back in.

This was well done; thank you.
