[QUOTE="chpservice, post: 5936436, member: 118432"] Those particular Volter CHP units have been switched off along with the two others on that site, the one on the left in that picture had actually caught fire. The owners decided that they were not cost effective due to unreliableilty, this was after the new thicker tubes installed for the gasifier, the inverter cabinets swapped for more advanced type. They had a brilliant guy there full time looking after 4 Volter CHP machines and the other biomass boilers, ORC machines, he was probably the most Volter qualified in the UK due to the fact he ran them and fixed them every Day. I got talking to him as he was looking for work and his enthusiasm for these CHP’s and knowledge was quite amazing, would have hired him myself but he was actually offered a better job elsewhere not working on CHP’s. actually a wasted talent. He said that had his former boss had installed the Volter machines as they are now, with a better way of feeding the chip and removing the Ash then reliability would have been a lot better, it was just unfortunate they took on unproven machines and this has cost them in the long run.
