DCS Micro Chip

The DCS Energy MicroCHP Solution provides Combined Heat and Power (CHP) in a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly manner, using the most sophisticated method of energy supply available.

DCS MicroCHP Solution - How It Works
DCS Micro Chip - How It Works

The DCS Energy MicroCHP Solution is an appliance that replaces the boiler normally used to heat your building and water. It serves these two functions, and in addition produces 3 kWh of electricity that can be used by your building’s electric system. Your electric meter will actually turn backwards if production is more than demand in the building! An optional air conditioning function is also available.

How it Works

The DCS Energy MicroCHP System produces electric power with a combustion engine. As an example, the heat that is output by a car combustion engine is recovered and used for the car’s heating system. The MicroCHP works in this same way. The recovered heat is sufficient for heating an entire home or small business.





The DCS Energy MicroCHP Solution uses natural gas or propane gas. If natural gas supply is not available in your location, you can have propane gas installed, and the MicroCHP will run in the same manner, with the same efficiency. Existing ductwork, baseboard heat and plumbing can generally be utilized.

The DCS Energy MicroCHP Solution is perfect for single and multi-family homes. High overall efficiency and low CO2 emissions make it ideal for residential use. Low maintenance – once per year or every 4,000 hours of use.
