Freewatt micro-CHP System Demonstration on Near West Side

Freewatt Micro-CHP System

Syracuse University as part of the Syracuse Center of Excellence (SyracuseCoE) has installed a Freewatt micro-CHP system at a home on the Near Westside of Syracuse. The purpose of this field test is to measure and confirm the energy and environmental performance of this innovative system. This residential-scale combined heat and power (CHP) system has been developed by Climate Energy. The system includes a natural gas-driven engine generator that provides about 1 kW of electric power for the home. Waste heat from the engine is used to provide space heating for the home. The system combines a Honda engine generator and a conventional gas furnace for backup heating. The furnace includes a hot water coil in order to use heat from the engine jacket to provide space heating. A Monitoring Plan summarizes the instrumentation and systems that have been installed and provides the rationale for the test approach.
