Combining power and performance
 VARION® C-POWER — Ultimate all-in-one system

Engineered to exceed
The VARION® C-POWER range of CHP units
introduces a new era of heat and electrical power
generation. With class leading efficiencies, a host

operation conditions, as well as the power and heat
generation are displayed in detailed graphics and tables.

System integration
VARION® C-POWER is suitable for cascade CHP
installations of up to three units. In addition, all models
can integrate seamlessly with other ELCO products to
offer an optimised system that is customised to every
application.
