Shenton Group supplies CHP to Crieff Hydro hotel

The Shenton Group's Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system Powertherm, has been installed in a Scotland hotel.

Powertherm has been installed at Crieff Hydro as part of its environmental policy and in order to reduce energy costs.

Powertherm is supplying 75kw of inexpensive, green, electricity, and is catering for the hot water supply for showers, baths, heating, swimming pool, spa baths, laundry and kitchen.

In addition, it will compliment the use the resort's existing power generator by providing standby power to the hotels, bedrooms and bathrooms.

This was an additional benefit to the hotel as it is located in an area that has been prone to powercuts.

Powertherm's engine technology gives 84.5 per cent package efficiency with thermal recovery, enabling the units to provide an outstanding energy output compared to fuel consumption as well as shrink a company's carbon footprint.

Utilising a low emission natural gas engine, Powertherm offers a pre-engineered package design, which reduces up-front engineering, site design and installation costs.

The design encompasses all CHP components within an acoustic enclosure, providing improved noise rating.

Powertherm will provide a relatively short term payback.

With the flexibility to support both inside and outside applications, Powertherm's CHP technology recovers waste heat to provide heating, hot water or even air conditioning.

This reduces overall energy consumption and thereby enables commercial and industrial customers to offset gas and electricity consumption.

The system's low exhaust emissions ensure that Powertherm complies with or exceeds UK regulations.
