CCHP (Combined Cooling, Heating & Power)
Overview
BROAD India is a pioneer in CCHP and trigeneration solutions, offering comprehensive systems that fundamentally transform how large facilities consume energy. By integrating gas turbines or reciprocating engines with our world-class vapour absorption chillers, we enable industrial complexes, data centres, and commercial hubs to generate their own power while simultaneously fulfilling their massive HVAC demands - all from a single fuel source.
The efficiency gains are staggering. A conventional grid-power + electric-chiller setup typically achieves a total energy utilisation of just 40–45%. A BROAD CCHP system captures the waste heat from the generator's exhaust and jacket water, converting it into free cooling and heating. This pushes total system efficiency to 80–90%, delivering massive reductions in both operational expenditure and carbon emissions.
Driving Corporate Sustainability and Net-Zero Targets
As organizations across India face increasing pressure to decarbonize, BROAD CCHP solutions offer a tangible, high-impact pathway. By maximizing the thermal efficiency of primary fuels and virtually eliminating the need for grid-purchased electricity for cooling and heating, these systems drastically reduce a facility's carbon footprint.
Tri-Generation Process Flow
1. Fuel Input
Natural gas or alternative fuels power the prime mover
2. Electricity Generation
Gas turbines or generators produce electrical power
3. Heat Recovery
Exhaust heat captured for thermal applications
4. Cooling & Heating
Absorption systems provide chilled and hot water
