Micro CHP boiler: heating, hot water and electricity
It won't be long before households can generate their own electricity. The media is already devoting enormous attention to the development of a new generation of central heating boilers that, in addition to heating and hot water, also supply electricity. These are known as micro CHP boilers.
Broag-Remeha is the UK operation of Remeha, the Dutch based boiler manufacturer who are a front runner in innovative heating technology and at an advanced stage of development with the micro CHP boiler.
What are the benefits of these new generation central heating boilers?
Generating electricity at home will mean an enormous saving on a household's total energy bill. This saving is expected to be between €300 and €400 a year.
Just as importantly, the micro CHP boiler also makes a significant environmental contribution. Since less electricity needs to be generated centrally, it is anticipated that the micro CHP boiler will result in a 60% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on each produced kWh.
Remeha micro CHP boiler, big winner at VSK Innovation Awards 2008
Utrecht, 12 February 2008 — The micro CHP boiler from Remeha was the big winner at the VSK Innovation Awards 2008. Receiving 31% of the votes, Remeha won the People's Choice Award. The judges also recognised the micro CHP boiler with an award in the heating category. In addition to hot water and heating, the micro CHP boiler also supplies electricity. Chairman of the jury, Mr. Ed Nijpels, called it the perfect solution for the Netherlands from 2010 on.
The prizes were awarded at the VSK Relation Dinner Show 2008 in the exhibition hall of Jaarbeurs Utrecht on Monday 11 February. Remeha was presented the People's Choice Award by Bart-Jan Krouwel, Director of Sustainable Development & Corporate Social Responsibility at Rabobank Netherlands.

How about harnessing some of the energy our vehicles create with their hydronic cooling systems.
Say have a thermal store in the boot.(vented preferably)
Could be 150 litres as we don't want to add too much weight.
The engine heats this up and when we arrive home, we drive up to a docking station which transfers the energy to the home. Could be pre -heat too a combi or thermal transfer too another cylinder. A small heat pump might be beneficial too in order to suck all the remaining lower grade heat from the store and the engine block as well before it escapes too the surrounding ambient.

Wonder how long it will be before DM comes spaming vaillant

You'd have to have a complex control system with weather compensation so you had enough heat left to defrost the windows in the morning
Where's bigburner when we need him?

Maybe if I spent less time changing bathrooms I'd know more about them.
In all seriousness
up front cost is going to be the problem, but as fuel costs rise could be economic.
When we get prices and outputs and the like i'll do a net present value analysis to see if it's a viable technology.
Only problem is that anyone sensible would sit it out for 5 years after they come to market so we can be sure of reliability issues. What if they all turn out to be dogs that are uneconomic to repair in 5 years? Always possible look how many boilers have turned out that way?.

Is it dual temperature with weather compensation?

I have had one of these on test for the last 2 rears (The original NZ model) and I simply cannt praise it enough.
It's the closest we will see to a genuine perpetual motion machine !!!
