Development of an advanced heat recovery unit and absorption chiller, and integration of these and other optimized components into a low cost, compact, packaged cogeneration system, are described. An enhanced 'second generation' heat recovery unit (HRU) that can take advantage of the high-efficiency natural gas-fired lean-burn engine was designed. The HRU will have the capability to supplementally fire the exhaust gas of a lean-burn engine, and to operate as a stand-alone boiler when the engine is not in operation. A market study indicated that these features are important as they enable the system to better track the thermal load and significantly reduce or eliminate the need for an auxiliary boiler.
