May 20, 2005—UTC Power, a division of United Technologies Corporation, announced the unveiling of the first US supermarket installation of the PureComfort 240M combined cooling, heating and power system. In a ribbon- cutting ceremony at the A&P fresh store in Mount Kisco, N.Y., local and federal government officials celebrated the installation of this 240- kilowatt system designed to provide highly efficient and clean electricity, cooling and heating for the store.
The PureComfort system converts more than 80 percent of its fuel input to useful electric, cooling and heating output, says the company. This high efficiency is expected to produce 40 percent less carbon dioxide emissions and 90 percent less nitrogen oxide emissions than the average central generation plant.
The system gains its high efficiency by using the exhaust heat generated from power production to provide additional heating and cooling for the store. The technology was developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy.
