CHP unit

Module EM-18/36


Mini CHP unit with condensing technology 

Vitobloc 200, module EM-18/36 in combination with a peak load boiler is ideal for residential complexes from 30 to 50 units, for medium-sized hotels, residential homes for the elderly, and car showrooms, etc. With an overall efficiency of 96.4%, the mini CHP unit operates highly efficiently thanks to its condensing technology and is recommended both for new build and modernisation projects.

  • Fuel: Natural gas (biogas on request)
  • 4-cylinder gas engine
  • Efficiency: 96.4% (Hi)
  • High efficiency through condensing technology
  • Operation with a heating bias eligible for subsidies in Germany
    according to the Mini-CHP Incentive Programme

Benefits at a glance

  • High electrical efficiency through the use of energy-efficient engines, consequently the highest possible power proportion for maximum economy
  • The standard equipment comprises starting batteries and a synchronous generator. As a result, the CHP unit is equipped for emergency power supply with no increase in the idle current demand
  • Can be operated with natural gas, biogas, sewer and landfill gas
  • Time and cost savings during engineering, installation, commissioning and operation thanks to comprehensive standard equipment level
  • Longer service intervals thanks to integral lubricating oil supply with optimised tank volume resulting in reduced operating costs and down times
  • Fully wired and factory-tested therefore minimum installation effort and verified output
  • Proven technology with more than 700 systems installed
  • Practical remote monitoring and automation systems
  • Attractive subsidy programmes (particularly in Germany)
  • Extensive service concept, e.g. different service options – from standard to full service


The compact appliances from ESS, member of the Viessmann Group since 2008, are focused on decentralised CHP units with a bias towards heating. Comparatively small units generate electric power for consumption on site.
