Descrizione

This book, which stems from many years’experience in the domain of cogeneration; is addressed to a rather wide rage of potential readers. Consultancies and Energy Service Companies will have the opportunity to get updated about cogeneration legislation, and will be able to assess efficiency of a given cogeneration installation as well as – more important, perhaps – the amount of the incentive. Architects and builders will be able to consider meeting energy demand of buildings by means of a cogeneration plant in addition to, or instead of, conventional techniques. Manufacturers of machinery (gas turbines, steam turbines, internal combustion engines) will find information about potential market developments. Factory managers will be able to consider widening their activity scope by adding electricity production, and to assess the advantages this diversification brings about. Individual parts of the book are as independent of one another as possible, so that readers can focus on single chapters and paragraph.After an ample general introduction, numerous real-life installations are described in case studies, with schemes and calculation examples.
