Plant Installation

For packaged CHP, the major installed item is the ‘box’. However, the installation programme may also include:

  • Removal of redundant equipment.
  • Relocation of retained equipment.
  • Preparation of CHP foundations.
  • Preparation of access routes.
  • Interconnection to a gas supply.
  • Interconnection to electrical services.
  • Interconnection to heat services.
  • Installation of flue systems.
  • Installation of heat rejection equipment.

During installation, appropriate note must be taken of Health and Safety issues, particularly:

  • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
  • Electricity at Work Regulations.
  • Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
  • Noise at Work Regulations.
  • Confined Space Regulations.

A reputable supplier/installer will explain the installation process and confirm that it is acceptable to the client. The supplier, like the client, wants the process to be swift and trouble-free.
