SAV Systems supplies clusters of CHP Units called LoadTracker: up to 5 Combined Heat & Power units, representing a range of 15-75 kW(e) and 30-150 kW(th). Read more on http://www.sav-systems.com/loadtracker-combined-heat-and-power-(chp

2. Load Tracker CHP Specifications
EC Power is SAV Systems’ chosen partner for CHP. We were attracted to their
award-winning LoadTracker CHP because of the flexibility it offers to make
Cogeneration work well in a wide range of applications.

3. LoadTracker CHP Technical Specifications
LoadTracker background and CHP Technical Specifications
EC Power started off in 1994. Backed by serious R & D funding from
energy giant Statoil, a series of high performance Combined Heat and
Power Units were developed.
These have since benefited from a programme of continuous
improvement. The XRGI 15G CHP unit was launched in 2008, and has
done well in European markets. As from 2012, the XRGI 20 has been
added to the product range.

4. LoadTracker CHP Technical Specifications
In early 2009, EC Power formed a joint venture with SAV Systems United
Kingdom Ltd. This enterprise has enabled the technical strength of EC
Power to be combined with the practical expertise and service-led
approach of SAV. There are over 150 LoadTracker combined heat and
power installations that are up and running in the UK.

5. LoadTracker CHP Technical Specifications
LoadTracker CHP Units are powered by a Toyota
gas engine of proven reliability. It is designed for
low maintenance and operates for 8,000 hours
between services (for the XRGI 15G) or 6,000
hours (for the XRGI 20). The generator can
modulate output down to 40% of maximum; this
is very significant to continuing Combined Heat
and Power operations during periods of low
electric demand.

6. LoadTracker CHP Technical Specifications
The CHP heat exchanger circuits are arranged to maintain flow water at constant
temperature (usually 80C), regardless of return temperature. This makes for
steadier operation. Every LoadTracker CHP unit comes with a thermal storage
vessel, and the contents of this are kept as close as possible to flow temperature.
When site demand falls away, hot water is diverted to build up unused storage
volume.
This means that LoadTracker CHP thermal storage is highly effective in dealing
with peaks in site demand.

7. CHP and carbon footprints
 Buildings account for nearly half of the UK’s carbon emissions, and domestic
housing accounts for around 27% of the UK total. Action to reduce this pollution
continues through Building Codes and Regulations. The use of combined heat and
power within district heating systems is a good example of this - it can produce
large benefits.
 The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) awards 6 possible ratings (or levels of
attainment) for dwellings. These are strongly influenced by the expected energy
and CO₂ emissions. Determination of Level is also related to the %age improvement
in the benchmark Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) which can be achieved by the use
of low carbon technologies like Combined Heat and Power.

8. Domestic Combined Heat and Power
By incorporating combined heat and power in community heating schemes, a rating of
CSH Level 3 is eminently achievable.
This Level has been mandatory in the public sector for 2 years, prior to being applied to
housing in the private sector as from April 2010. As moves towards a Low/Zero Carbon
economy continue in future, consultants will in due course have to consider the
implications of designing to Level 6.

9. Working with SAP and BREEAM on CHP assessments
 SAV do not act as SAP or BREEAM assessors as such. However, there have been fruitful
exchanges between SAV and accredited SAP and BREEAM assessors on numerous
district heating CHP projects. Such discussion helps consultants to get the best
possible carbon reductions from LoadTracker.
 On a series of 16 school projects that SAV contributed to in the previous year, carbon
reductions of between 12 – 25% were estimated for Load Tracker Combined Heat and
Power systems. The equivalent figure for 29 care home projects was 9% – 24%.

10. Working with SAP and BREEAM on CHP assessments
Regardless of project type, SAV’s CHP consultants have built up wide-ranging
expertise to help with the assessment of CO₂ reduction.
Regional weather profiles, property type benchmarking and typical load
patterns are all used to provide CHP system carbon footprint reduction
estimates that are grounded, thorough and clearly explained.

contact SAV Systems on the details below or by using
the Contact Us page.
We'll send you the LoadTracker CHP Design Guide to
help you identify whether CHP is suitable for your
project. Next we'll provide you with a sample CHP
assessment for your type of project, and a proforma
enquiry spreadsheet if you'd like to take things
further.
We look forward to hearing from you!
