EnerTwin EXPLAINED IN DETAIL

THE POWERFUL HEART OF THE EnerTwin

You can think about EnerTwin as a turbocharger with a power generator and a heat exchanger attached.

The EnerTwin CHP - system (combined heat and power system) produces electrical power and the heat of the turbine is used to heat the heating circuit in your home and produce hot water. The EnerTwin produces 3.2 kW electricity and 15.6 kW heat with up to 80 degrees Celsius in one hour.

All produced energy is used efficiently with 94% of the injected gas. You could even choose a setup which makes you independent from power failures of the public grid or combine it with a solar system. Combinations are many.

FULL ENERGY MONITORING & CONTROL

EnerTwin can adapt to any existing infrastructure.

You can combine the EnerTwin with other energy-producing or storage systems for example with photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, wind turbines, heat buffers, batteries, and car chargers.

You gain complete control over your energy flows in your building (electricity, heat, gas, water) as we deliver the EnerTwin with a Smartfox Pro device. We can maximize your self-sufficiency level and therefore minimize your costs.

Your building becomes smart grid ready and could also benefit from better energy prices.

Smart Home Integration with all major vendors: Apple, Google, Amazon is also possible.

Follow and optimize your energy usage on your mobile device, Mac or PC from everywhere in the world.

COST EFFICIENT IN ANY ASPECT

COMPARISON OF AN EnerTwin WITH A STANDARD CHP-SYSTEM

SHORT PAYBACK TIME:

The low acquisition and maintenance cost lead to a fast payback of your EnerTwin investment. Electricity that you do not use immediately you can feed back into the public grid (if the price is good). You can charge also your electric vehicle or top up your battery storage or heat your indoor or outdoor pool with lower costs. For multi-family houses, you can bill the electricity to your tenants. In business buildings you could use it to power your ventilation system or extend the time of your uninterrupted power supply. There are lots of options to benefit from an EnerTwin for private and business use. All this possibilities reduce the payback time of your EnerTwin investment.

Everywhere in Europe experts expect electricity prices to go up in the future. Hence higher electricity prices will reduce your payback time even further.

It is worthwhile to mention: Gas boilers and heat pumps have no payback at all. This investments are sunk costs without a chance to recover them. You will still be exposed to higher electricity prices in the future.

Here two examples for estimated payback times and current energy prices:

Germany: 3 to 6 years (relatively high electricity costs and government subsidies for the acquisition an the operation of CHP - systems)

Switzerland: ca. 15 years (relatively low electricity prices and no government subsidies)

Don't forget: In Europe, a lot of countries will shout down nuclear power plants and also coal power plants in the coming 5 to 10 years. Experts are convinced that there will be electricity shortages in European countries (like Germany and Switzerland) as sufficient power from renuvable energies is not installed as fast as needed.

LOW ACQUISITION COSTS:

As the EnerTwin is easy to install, needs no special construction preparation of the installation site and is also light weight to transport it saves you already substantial costs from the beginning compared to other CHP - systems.

With an EnerTwin you will have about 1/3 of the installation effort compared with other CHP - systems.

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS & SHORT STAND STILL TIMES:

The EnerTwin has only 1 moving part, therefore maintenance is easy and done in short time (There are no changes of engines and gearboxes or other moving parts which cost a lot of spare parts and time.). With an EnerTwin you will have 4 to 5 times lower maintenance costs compared to other CHP - systems.

LOW ENERGY COSTS:

Producing power and heat in your house with 94% efficiency where it can be used immediately is good for the environment and reduces your costs per kWh significantly compared with buying the power from your local electricity provider

INSTANT MANUFACTURER SUPPORT

The EnerTwin has extended control and support capabilities. The manufacturer can instantly support your installer if necessary (though this are very rare cases).

Around 90 parameters of the entire system can be logged and supervised and the status of the system is transparent to the last detail.

The EnerTwin can be integrated into your central system control of all your houses through modbus connection or TCP/IP modbus access.

The manufacturer can instantly support the service team even before they come to your place. Like this the service engineer is already equipped with the right material and knows what he has to do. This saves time and minimizes maintenance cost

CASCADING ALREADY INTEGRATED

If you need more heat, connect several EnerTwin in a cascade. The software controlling the load balancing is already included and optimizes the run time of all systems for the lowest possible wear out and service costs.
