SHENTON GROUP ENJOY 80% ENERGY SAVINGS WITH POWERTHERM

Leading by example in reducing its carbon footprint, the Shenton Group has installed the innovative and cost effective CHP system, powertherm? , at its headquarters in Andover in Hampshire.  The company’s large workshop is being heated utilising the system by hot water being pumped around the building to unit heaters in the 16,000 square foot area.  It has been calculated that powertherm will provide the Shenton Group with energy savings of around 80%.

The Shenton Group has applied to the Carbon Trust for a loan to cover the cost of the installation. The Carbon Trust’s Energy-Efficiency Loans are unsecured and interest free, with no arrangement fees and a straightforward application process.   Loans can be repaid over a period of up to four years, and energy savings made from installing powertherm more than cover repayments.

Unique to the European market, powertherm’s engine technology gives 85.5% package efficiency with thermal recovery, enabling the units to provide an outstanding energy output compared to fuel consumption as well as shrink a company’s carbon footprint.  Utilising a low emission natural gas engine, powertherm offers a pre-engineered package design, which reduces up-front engineering, site design and installation costs.  The package design encompasses all CHP components within an acoustic enclosure thereby providing very low noise output (68 dB(A) @ 7 M) in plant room environments together with neatness of design and ease of access.
