The Future of Energy Supply . . .
As shown in the schematic below, the ecopower cogeneration unit
generates both heat and electricity in an environmentally friendly
manner for residential or light commercial applications.  This innovative appliance is designed to run inside your residence or
building and is clean, quiet, and up to 92% efficient (65% thermal and
27% electrical).
The long life Marathon™ engine can run for 4,000 continuous hours
between maintenance needs and is designed to last 10 years before a
major overhaul. The unit functions best in applications where hydronic
(water / boiler) systems are used, however it can be adapted to other
heating systems.
The information on the reverse side shows a typical installation as well
as some of the pertinent technical aspects of the unit. As you can see . . .
ecopower is truly the future of home energy.
How cogeneration works:

The ecopower microCHP is designed as a unique heating and power
source for today’s single and multi-family homes or small businesses. It
can also be used to service larger facilities by installing multiple units. In
this multiplexed application, the system is especially efficient because
only units needed to satisfy the load will be utilized. Fuel/energy is not
wasted on an oversized generator. As for industrial applications with peak
rates or demand loads, the ecopower(s) can help reduce these high cost
charges. Typical applications are:
- Single and multi-family homes
- Schools, day cares
- Lodges and small hotels
- Agriculture, green houses
- Small industry , car wash
- Sport centers / swimming pools
