WALTHAM, Mass., June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) today announced the
sale of a CM-75 combined heat and power (CHP) module for
installation at a hospital in Long
Island, New York. The unit
is being sold to a local Energy Services Company (ESCO) who will
replace an existing outdated cogeneration system with Tecogen's
current technology. The CHP system will provide electrical
power for the hospital while supplying the hot water needed for
operations. The resulting cost reduction quickly recovers the
system cost while continuing to reduce the hospital's carbon
footprint.
"Hospitals are ideal candidates for combined heat and power
(CHP) systems," said Robert Panora,
President and COO of Tecogen. "Hospitals function 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year, and require round-the-clock reliable energy.
Combined systems enable hospitals to reduce energy costs,
improve environmental performance, and increase energy reliability.
Resources saved are often redirected to improve patient
care."
The new CM-75 CHP unit will improve the environmental footprint
of the hospital be incorporating advanced emissions technology
developed by Tecogen.
