Tecogen Continues to Build Momentum with Mechanical CHP in Indoor Growing
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient, clean, natural gas powered on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce an additional Tecochill sale into the emerging indoor cannabis growing market in Massachusetts. Tecogen will deliver 2 Tecochill STx 200 ton natural gas engine chillers to the facility to provide cooling for the grow rooms and hot water for dehumidification control. The units will ship at the end of the third quarter and are expected to be operational in early 2019.
Stephen Lafaille, Product Manager for Tecogen, stated, "The Tecochill solution to the large energy needs of indoor growing facilities is becoming increasingly recognized by industry professionals. By base loading the cooling needs of the facility with Tecogen chillers, the project realizes significant energy savings while also reducing the site’s electrical infrastructure requirements. This particular grower is also using the free waste heat to provide dehumidification, further increasing the efficiency and savings for the project.”
The order is Tecogen's 12th into North America's rapidly emerging indoor cannabis grow industry, with additional Tecochill systems currently in design and construction planning. Tecogen’s nationwide service presence and cloud-based remote monitoring capabilities ensures rapid response to critical process cooling customers such as indoor grow facilities.
"We continue to make excellent progress establishing Tecochill as the design basis for indoor growing facilities,” added Tecogen CEO, Benjamin Locke. “The tremendous power needs for these facilities sometimes exceed the utility’s ability to supply consistent cost-effective power. The Tecochill product not only reduces the electrical supply needs of the facility, but also results in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) savings as compared to traditional methods of cooling. We are very pleased with this order and look forward to additional projects in the indoor growing market.”
