Refrigerated storage is more feasible with expanded fueling options for the more highly-efficient gas-turbine combined heat and power systems (CHP) with add-on chillers. 

 

Any size of refrigeration and power application is possible:  a small grocery store, restaurant or hospital pharmacy; a beef processing plant or dairy farm; or large-scale warehouse cold-storage for port operations or a computer data center.

​

In areas where natural gas is not available, deployment of CHP refrigeration systems has been limited.  LPP Combustion’s liquid fuel vaporization capability eliminates this obstacle to deployment by improving fuel-supply options to include many locally-available liquid fuels.  Such liquid fuels are more easily transported and stored than the natural gas for which these serve as a substitute. 

 

Refrigerated storage can be co-located next to power generating stations to take advantage of the gas-turbine exhaust heat used to drive the add-on CHP chillers equipment.  (The advantage of CHP power systems is that no additional fuel is expended for air-conditioning, which is instead achieved by heat recovery.)  In-place gas-turbine power systems can be up-graded to multi-fuel capability via installation of the modular LPP Combustion front-end Liquid Fuel Preparation Unit, which attaches to the standard fuel-intake of the gas-turbine without modification.  Expanded fuel-supply options improve reliability and viability for baseload operation of gas-turbine power systems.  CHP chillers can be added to in-place gas-turbine power generation equipment.

 

Gas-turbines configured for CHP chillers gain multi-fuel capability with LPP Combustion equipment, providing opportunities for procurement of lower-cost fuels that in turn reduce overall operating costs.  Owners of gas-turbine CHP refrigeration systems can forego a costly 'dual-fuel upgrade' which would otherwise be needed to use diesel fuel (yielding high-emissions and spewing soot) in addition to natural gas.

​

LPP Combustion equipment enables low-emissions use of diesel and other liquid fuels, ensuring compliance with air-quality regulations and significantly reducing the amount of soot (particulate matter) released into the air.

​

Turbine-based refrigeration and power systems, fueled by liquid fuels vaporized on-site via LPP Combustion equipment, obviate any need for funding new natural gas pipeline distribution infrastructure.
