WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 9,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN)
today announced the sale and commissioning of a multiple unit
cogeneration system installed at a major military research and
development facility in Massachusetts. The sale of the system,
completed earlier the year, was for $400,000.
The Tecogen cogeneration system will operate throughout the
year, supplying the facility with electricity and thermal energy
for space heating in the colder months and air-conditioning in the
warmer periods. The air-conditioning is achieved by absorption
chillers. This system uses "free" waste heat energy in a process to
generate chilled water supplementing the facility's existing
cooling system.
"The military laboratory application is a classic example of a
Tri-generation system," said Robert
Panora, President and COO of Tecogen. "The system
supplies all three forms of energy required by the facility and
allows the equipment to produce energy savings year round. This
type of system is significant to us because it has wide application
in many types of commercial facilities outside our typical
multi-unit hotel or residential customer."
The sale also includes a long-term maintenance contract.
