Winner
Jusco Co., Ltd.
Hitachi Limited

This is a cogeneration system introduced to a large-scale shopping center to deal with substantial power load caused by air conditioning due to its long business hours and large space.
Different from conventional systems mainly used for hot water supply and space heating, this system gives higher priority on the performance of space cooling.
It is expected to be a model installation for a large shopping malls or intelligent office buildings with greater demands for space cooling, which are expected to increase in the future.

Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities
  • Best match to a large-scaled shopping center
    System FlowThis shopping center is the largest store of Jusco department store chain with a 100,000 m2 floor area. A shopping center must provide space cooling during their long business hours and must save enough shop floor area and a parking lot. And efficient and compact "Gas Eco Pack" satisfies these requirements. Much of their demands of electricity and space cooling are covered with this system. The system has slashed their annual energy consumption.

  • High efficiency
    Power and intense heat generated from a gas turbine is directly used for water cooling and heating raised the total efficiency to 80% even during the operation of air conditioning.

  • Supply of power, cold water and hot water
    The system provides electricity, cold water, and hot water according to the demand.

  • Space saving
    Functions of gas engine, cooling and heating water equipment, boiler, cooling tower are integrated into a unit. This makes the system compact and space saving.
