Combined heat and power: Performance that pays you back.
Combined heat and power cogeneration systems let you generate electricity with up to 90 percent total efficiency. If you have an around-the-clock electric demand and a substantial heat requirement, combined heat and power (cogeneration) systems may work for you. Common applications include:
- District heating and cooling systems
- Hotels, hospitals, colleges
- Bakeries, dairies and food processing plants
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Paper and textile mills
- Plastics and chemical processing plants
- Biomass cogeneration projects

- Low, predictable maintenance costs
- Flexible, affordable financing
New systems or retrofits
Install a cogeneration system in a new building, or replace an existing boiler. Compact CAT® generator sets fit right into your boiler room. Your system can be in service in as little as six months. Complete packages come with:
- Gas- or diesel-fueled engine-generator
- Controls and switchgear
