TwinGen- prototyping of world's most compact heat and power boiler

萨马德电力有限公司的微型燃气轮机TGB(涡轮-绿色锅炉)家用热电联产锅炉，能够产生高达2KW的电力，同时提供热水和空间供暖(约12kW)，目前正在进行实验室测试，并准备通过CE认证。大规模部署微型热电联产设备的根本挑战是最终用户的成本，但TGB显著降低了成本，预计安装价格为3,500 GB。该项目旨在开发TwinGen，即下一代TwinGen，它具有类似于“Comi”锅炉的快速响应特性，可以替代为锅炉组件，用紧凑型轴向涡轮机组件取代风扇和燃烧器，该组件可插入传统机组，从而使技术许可进入锅炉制造商的标准范围。这一革命性的配置代表着进入锅炉更换市场的一个突破，认识到这一潜力，该财团包括两家锅炉制造商，公用事业巨头BG和世界领先的涡轮机制造商捷普，与Samad合作改进设计和生产原型。

Samad Power Ltd’s micro turbine TGB (TurboGreenBoiler)domestic CHP boiler, capable of producing up to 2KW of electricity whilst simultaneously providing hot water and space heating (approximately 12 kW), is currently going through lab testing and preparation for CE certification. The fundamental challenge to high volume deployment of micro CHP units is the cost to the end users but TGB represents a significant cost reduction, with a projected installed price of £3,500. This project is to develop the TwinGen, next generation of TGB which has fast response characteristics similar to “combi” boilers and can be substituted into boiler packages, replacing the fan and burner with a compact axial turbine assembly which slots into conventional units, thus allowing technology licensing into boiler manufacturer standard ranges. This revolutionary configuration represents a breakthrough for reaching the boiler replacement market and in recognition of this potential, the consortium includes two boiler manufacturers, Utility giant BG and also world leading turmanufacturer Jabil , working with Samad to refine the design and produce prototypes.
