WALTHAM, Mass., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen Inc., announced today the sale of a 525-kW cogeneration system for a major acute care hospital and its associated medical office buildings and clinics in greater Sacramento, California.  This system will consist of seven (7) Tecogen modular 75-kW combined heat and power (CHP) units equipped with Tecogen's patented Ultra low emissions system.  This CHP plant will produce electricity for the hospital's on-site use, as well as heat for the heating and domestic hot water systems.  Tecogen is expected to be contracted to maintain the CHP plant in the future.  This system has been designed to significantly reduce the operating costs of the hospital as well as reduce the carbon footprint of the site.

With best-in-class efficiency, local factory service centers, and low cost of ownership, Tecogen systems are a proven solution for reducing operating costs using CHP.  With a 30-year track record of superior onsite support, the Tecogen service contract includes full warranty, all scheduled service, and necessary repairs and parts replacements, all within a single comprehensive factory program.

Tecogen's CHP modules come fully pre-packaged from the factory including engine, generator, oil/ jacket/ exhaust heat recovery, controls, electrical switchgear, emissions controls, and are equipped for remote monitoring and data-logging via phone modems or Internet communications. This factory pre-packaging allows for standardization and minimizes installation cost and complexity in the field.  Available with either an indoor or outdoor enclosure and Tecogen's patented Ultra low emissions system, these systems can be installed throughout the United States
