“ We realized that increased energy expenditures were needed. The idea came for a microturbine; that became our favorite due to low cost, special needs, and operating time.” — Christoph Edrich, Technical Director, Catholic Hospital Koblenz “In the summer months the turbines are running on their own and can produce enough total power for the hospital,” noted Marcus Mehlkopf, CEO of Capstone distributor E-quad Power Systems GmbH. “Through the installation of microturbines the heating system can be completely shut off,” Edrich added. “Our distributor, E-quad Power Systems, developed their own heat exchanger for this application,” said Sven Fransen, Capstone Regional Sales Manager. “This allows them to have very high efficiency at high temperatures to meet the CHP requirements that apply in Germany.” “With every heat exchanger we can get 126kW thermal power so we get an overall efficiency around 85 percent,” E-quad’s Mehlkopf said. Onsite CHP is far more fuel efficient and environmentally beneficial than utility power and boiler heating, and can dramatically cut monthly power bills. Recognized as one of the leading countries for promoting sustainability, Germany has worked for more than 40 years to develop policies and initiatives that promote environmentally sustainable growth. “Germany has high objectives to lower the energy uses and reduce emissions, very strongly encouraging new technology that do both,” Fransen said. “What they are focusing on is renewable energy, and also the much more efficient CHP units which Capstone offers with their microturbines.” The system’s minimal maintenance and downtime has been a tremendous benefit to the hospital. “There are no wearing parts other than the turbine itself,” said Edrich. “Maintenance is once a year for two hours, otherwise the energy is here for us around the clock.” Two natural gas Capstone C65 microturbines make up the combined heat and power system at Catholic Hospital Koblenz in Augsburg, Germany. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2013 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
