CHP boilers heat
much like a normal boiler, at an extremely high
efficiency but also create electricity for your
home. This 3 phase electricity production is what
makes the CHP unit so efficient compared to a
regular boiler.
Key features and benefits:
- For the Environment:
electricity generated close to where it is to
be used has fewer carbon emissions and is far
more efficient.
- For the Householder: saving money on electricity
bills. In addition, it may be possible to sell
unused electricity back to the local grid.
- For Specifiers and house builders: Micro CHP
offers an effective way of meeting the Government's
targets towards zero carbon homes.
- For Utilities: micro CHP offers an effective
way of meeting the UK Government's Carbon Reduction
Targets with the CERT Program.
The government is now pushing
for energy production on a micro level i.e producing
your own energy in your own home. The DACHS CHP
boiler unit will be able to deliver that solutionl.
It will be able to get the most out the energy
that is currently so readily available like gas
and electricity.

- 3 Phase Electrics
The units form
an integral part of the homes electrical system.
For this reason you must have a 3-phase electrical
supply to your home. The BAXI CHP boiler will
produce electrical power of around 5.5kw in 3
phase form. If you are building a new home, you
may need a new electrical supply anyway, but if
you are renovating your property you will need
to find out if a 3 phase supply is available in
your area. Solo Heating Installations will advise
you on this.
- Heat Load
The units minimum
heat output will be 12.5kw. This means that if
the heat load for your property is under this
amount you will need to install a buffer
tank. A buffer tank will allow for the extra
heat to be used in the system and will completely
eliminate boiler cycling that would otherwise
ruin the CHP boilers motor and pump.
