“Some of the Mechanical engineering students from Asian University with their lecturers have participated in the “Gas Engine Based CHP in Thailand” seminar organized by the Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment (JGSEE) in cooperation with Wartsila Company (manufacturer of diesel and gas engines from Finland), The seminar was held at Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Pattaya on 3rd September 2009.

The seminar was about cogeneration, combination of electrical and heat energy production mainly by gas engines. The efficiency from conventional power production is about 35% and the rest is released as waste heat, but cogeneration uses the waste heat for cooling and chilling applications and increases efficiency up to 90%. Topics included typical electricity/heat/steam/chill demand for industries and commercials, engines, absorption and compression chilling, boundary conditions for cogeneration in Thailand, fuel properties, engine responses, types and sizes of engines, examples of cogeneration plants in Thailand and abroad, and the future for cogeneration in Thailand.

Speakers for this seminar are very famous professors in energy technology and experts from Wartsila Company. People who attended the seminar were mostly engineers, chief engineers in private companies, admirals of the Royal Thai Navy, lecturers and marketing managers.

Asian University students participated by asking and answering questions. The seminar expands the knowledge of engineering and vision of students for Thailand’s future energy.”
