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.
