Total questions: 7
Worksheet time: 11mins
What is meant by 'heat-led'?
80% of the heat is used to produce heat to the property, whilst the power generation is secondary 15%.
50% of the heat is used to produce heat to the property, whilst the power generation is secondary 50%.
100% of the heat is used to produce heat to the property, whilst the power generation is secondary 0%.
30% of the heat is used to produce heat to the property, whilst the power generation is secondary 70%.
When will the unit produce electricity?
When there is a demand for heat
When there is a demand for cooling
When there is a demand for water
When there is a demand for gas
What are the four key components of a mCHP?
The engine burner, The stirling engine generator, The supplementary burner, The heat exchanger
The engine burner, The stirling engine generator, The supplementary burner, The water pump
The engine burner, The stirling engine generator, The supplementary burner, The gas valve
The engine burner, The stirling engine generator, The supplementary burner, The air filter
What are the location and building requirements for mCHP?
The building should have high demand for space heating. The larger the building the greater the carbon savings.
The building should have low demand for space heating. The smaller the building the greater the carbon savings.
The building should have high demand for cooling. The larger the building the greater the carbon savings.
The building should have low demand for cooling. The smaller the building the greater the carbon savings.
What is one reason a building with good insulation might not be suitable for mCHP?
It has a high demand for space heating.
It is likely to have a demand for space heating.
It is unlikely to have a demand for space heating.
It is dependent on weather conditions.
Which of the following is an advantage of installing mCHP?
It increases the building's carbon footprint.
It is dependent on building direction and weather conditions.
It generates electricity only when there is no demand for heat.
It saves carbon over centrally generated electricity.
What is a disadvantage of installing an mCHP system?
The initial installation costs are low.
It is suitable for all properties.
It has limited capacity for electrical generation.
It has unlimited capacity for electrical generation.
