CHP in Supermarkets• Peak is 400-600 kW for
typical store• Significant space heating loads due to
refrigerated display cases• Desiccant dehumidification is widely used
in supermarkets– more than 1,000 desiccant units in US stores
• Good balance between thermal and electrical loads

Field Monitoring• Installed data logging equipment to quantify
thermal and electric performance– electrical turbine output (kW, amps, volts)– thermal output of
Unifin HX (flow, ΔT)– turbine exhaust
(T, static P, flow)– desiccant/HVAC unit
performance (T, RH, kW)

“What If” Annual Analysis
• Used measured trends with TMY weather data
• Assume more optimum Heat Recovery– Address minor set point/control issues
• What if: turbine ran for entire year– Annual CHP efficiency increases to 48-50%– Heat recovery saves more than 20,000 therms
(mostly space heating)
