BOSCH PROVIDES CHP WORKSHOP FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS

Young members of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) were able to gain an insight into how to reap the benefits of Combined Heat & Power, thanks to a guest lecture by a representative from one of the UK’s leading commercial and industrial heating manufacturers.

Alex Parkinson, UK CHP Sales Manager at Bosch Commercial & Industrial Heating, ran the educational workshop which was attended by 25 members of the CIBSE Young Engineers Network’s (YEN) North West region.

Primarily focusing on the fundamental design principles for successful CHP, the session was written by Alex for those engineers either new to CHP or wishing to refresh their knowledge on the technology, which is rapidly growing in popularity in the commercial and industrial sectors. Alex’s presentation detailed examples of the best and worst hydraulic arrangements, electrical connections, competing and complementary technologies, and importance of service and remote monitoring.

Alex, who has 12 years’ experience in the building services industry, works closely with contractors, consultants and merchants to develop commercial and industrial CHP led solutions, and has also published a number of technical papers on other aspects of CHP systems.

Alex commented: “It was very flattering to be given chance to offer an insight into the benefits of CHP to such an esteemed group of engineers. There is no question that the incentives related to CHP technology are stronger than they’ve ever been in the UK, which is why it is important that our industry’s decision-makers of the future feel confident enough to design successful systems which reduce both utility costs and CO2 emissions.”
