Here at E3NV we engage in extensive testing to ensure that your cogen will yield returns in a timely manner. Since there are no third party certifications or investigations in the cogeneration industry, there is no accountability and many companies take advantage of this by providing only the best case scenario. We here at E3NV find such business practices abhorrent which is why we are committed to transparency with our testing. We will share the actual testing data with you, so you can make an informed decision.

​

The E3NV Testing Facility offers extensive capabilities for independent testing and verification of power generation systems. The test facility has a history of developing piston engine based CHP systems, ORC machines, gas letdown generators and novel heat engines.

​

Each test cell is equipped with dual independent cooling systems, capable of rejecting a total of 5MMBTU.hr jacket water heat and 1MMBTU.hr after-cooler heat, or similar thermal loads. 500kW of grid tied power absorption is available with an additional 1.3MW of load banks.

​

E3NV has experience of gaseous fuel mixing and alternative fuels operation and can perform testing on such fuels if required.

​

The test cells are equipped with rooftop mounted, forced ventilation units capable of heating or cooling the test space and the facility is provided with a combustion air conditioning system which allows for temperature and pressure control of the engine air supply.

​

Comprehensive instrumentation and data acquisition is available and includes measurement and recording of multiple temperature and pressure points, fuel flow, fuel gas chromatography and speciated exhaust emissions.
