  • Patent number: 9006913
    Abstract: A cogeneration apparatus includes an electrical generator, an engine for driving the generator, and a heat exchanger for using waste heat of the engine as a heat source, which are housed in a housing. The apparatus is provided with an internal fuel line for supplying fuel to the engine from outside, and power wiring for supplying electrical power generated by the electrical generator to the outside. The housing has a substantially V-shaped lead-out part capable of leading the fuel line and the wiring to outside of the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8894759
    Abstract: A cogeneration apparatus having an engine and an air-cleaning device provided to the engine is disclosed. The air-cleaning device is provided with an air filter and a hollow resonator. The air filter is provided at a position where a space within an air-cleaning case splits into an upstream space and a downstream space, and the resonator is provided to the downstream space and positioned at a predetermined interval with respect to the air-cleaning case. Air is introduced through the downstream space to an internal space of the resonator.

  • Patent number: 8674529
    Abstract: A cogeneration apparatus includes a housing for accommodating an engine, a fuel line, an electrical generator, and a power converter part. The housing is partitioned into a power-generation compartment and an electrical-equipment compartment. Empty space in the housing is used to form a concave part, which is indented from the electrical-equipment compartment toward the power-generation compartment. The fuel line is disposed in the concave part.

  • Patent number: 8446023
    Abstract: A cogeneration apparatus having a ventilation-introducing channel communicating an electrical-equipment compartment with a ventilation fan is disclosed. Driving the ventilation fan causes air to be led from an exterior of a cogeneration case through the electrical-equipment compartment to the interior of the ventilation-introducing channel. The air led to the interior of the ventilation-introducing channel is led to an electrical generator. The air led to the electrical generator is exhausted through a power-generation compartment to the exterior of the cogeneration case.
