Mchp Honda Cogeneration System For Home Use
When it comes to home energy, the Freewatt and Freewatt+ MCHP Honda cogeneration
system for household use is one of the most productive and innovative energy resolutions on the market today. It creates heat and electricity for the residence utilizing a MCHP (Micro Combined Heat and Power) Honda Generator. The Freewatt generator works on natural gas, and the Freewatt+ works on both natural gas and propane.
An exceptional quality of the Freewatt method is that it produces 12,000 btu's of heat, and 1.2 kw of electricity every hour. A big advantage of the Freewatt+ system is that it possesses back up power in the occurrence of a power outage. In the back up generation mode, the Freewatt+ will create 1.8 kw of electricity. Both the Freewatt and Freewatt+ perform as a team with either a Freewatt hydronic system, or a Freewatt warm air system. Both perform at 95% capability.
Once the heat in a house drops lower than 40 to 45 degrees, 12,000 btu's of heat is inadequate to warm a house satisfactorily. As the home requires heat, the 95% efficiency warm air furnace or hydronic boiler kicks in, and brings the residence up to the wanted temperature. The MCHP Honda cogeneration system for home use performs in tandem with the furnace or boiler and generates extra electrical energy as well.
The 1.2 kw of electricity created each hour is not capable of giving power to an entire residence, but in the homes that make use of the Freewatt systems, the households have been continually able to lessen their electrical bills by half for the year. It has been substantiated that all through the heating months, while the Honda MCHP is operating, the energy bills can be reduced to zero, and at times customers even obtain credit for the additional power created through the utility company. This is not as important in the summer months, as the system runs less often, and results in creating a reduced amount of electricity.
In homes where the use of swimming pools, hot tubs, and domestic hot water are being utilized, the Honda MCHP will perform to dispatch the necessary heat load to those applications. This produces a higher demand to run the Freewatt in the summer months, making the Freewatt MCHP Honda cogeneration system for household use even more important. Keep in mind that as long as the Honda MCHP is operating, it is generating usable electricity for the home.
