Ground source heat pumps
Ground source heat pumps use the ground as their primary energy
source, either by deploying geothermal collectors or geothermal probes.
Water and water heat pumps are used where water is available as a
heat source.
Progen can provide and install the Correct sizing of the heat pump and
the ground loop is crucial to the effective and efficient operation
Air source heat pumps
Air source heat pumps work by transferring heat absorbed from the
outside air to an indoor space such as an office or other building. This is
the wet central heating systems to heat radiators and provide hot water.
It works much like a refrigerator. Air source heat pumps can also work
as a cooling system in the summer months. Air source heat pumps are
usually placed outside of a building where there is adequate space.
Both air and ground source heat solutions come with an range of
benefits:
· A low carbon footprint

Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) converts a single fuel, such as wood
pellets or gas, into both electricity and heat in a single process at the
point of use. CHP is highly energy efficient. As well as supplying heat
and power, it can deliver a number of positive financial, operational and
environmental benefits to your business.
The simple stages to CHP include:
· Electricity generation
· Electricity distribution to site
· Heat recovery
· Heat distribution to site
The benefits of CHP to the customers are:
· Reduced primary energy costs
· Stabilised electricity costs over a fixed period
· Potential benefits from Renewable Heat Incentives
· Sufficient savings to fund energy efficient measures
· Reduced base load electricity supply
· Additional security of supply
· Increased diversity on heating and hot water
· Cooling provision using absorption chillers
· Reduced CO2 emissions
· Lower SOx emissions with the use of natural gas as a fuel
CHP is a well-proven technology, recognised worldwide as a viable
alternative to traditional centralised generation. With CHP, an engine that
is normally fuelled by natural gas or wood pallets, is linked to an
alternator to produce electricity. CHP maximises the fuel and converts it
into electricity at around 35% efficiency and heat at around 50%. Heat is
recovered from the engine by removal from the exhaust, water jacket and
oil cooling circuits. Typically, a good CHP scheme can deliver an
efficiency increase of anything up to 25% compared to the separate
energy systems it replaces.
For any CHP installation, up to 20MW, we can provide a turnkey solution
