The engine cooling circuit pump in the CHP unit

Every unit (e.g. a motor) generates heat when it is in operation. The amount of heat generated depends on the size and power of the engine.

In CHPs, engines of 160 kW and larger are operated and these generate very high engine temperatures.

The optimum operating temperature of a motor depends on the manufacturer's specifications (between 70 ° C and 80 ° C) .

The engine has its most effective drive mode at this operating temperature.

In order to maintain this operating temperature, the engine cooling circuit pump was integrated into the engine operation as an additional component (comparable to the water pump in a motor vehicle).

This pump ensures that the engine does not overheat and always runs at the same operating temperature.
