GKV – the frame-mounted supply unit for gas motors

GKVThe GKV is based on the same concept as the GCKV: consistent bundling of all key functional units that are needed to reliably supply the gas motors (e.g. satellite CHP plants) with the biogas produced. Unlike the GCKV, however, where all system components are housed in a closed container, with the GKV the components such as the gas cooler, condensate trap, liquid coolant circuit, water cooler (required depending on the size) and compressor are fixed on a steel frame.
A contactor control controls all integrated assemblies and monitoring devices. This unit is housed in a control cabinet which is also mounted on the frame. In the case of outdoor installations, vapour-diffusion-proof insulation protects all the unit’s pipes and components – where necessary – from extreme temperature differences and weather conditions, particularly in the winter months. With the GKV too, the all-in-one nature of the product means the addition of only one more compact unit to the adjacent assemblies of the biogas plant, gas storage tank and gas utilisation system.
As an alternative to the convenient container, there are 12 sizes of easy-to-use and reliable GKV units with gas flow rates from 180 to 2100 Nm3/h.
The basic version of the GKV features gas drying (separation of the water vapour from the biogas), gas compression and transport to the consumer (CHP). To separate the unwanted water vapour from the biogas, the gas supply system has a condensation drying unit with tube bundle heat exchanger and cooling assembly. To supply the gas motor system, the SILOXA GKV units are equipped with a centrifugal fan with frequency regulator and temperature monitor to ensure an increase in gas pressure of 160 mbar (optionally up to 400 mbar).
