100 kW CHP
Microturbine
Elliott Energy Systems, Inc. has been
designing and supplying microturbines
since 1997. Our experience has made us
a leader in microturbine technology.
Located in Stuart, Florida, USA, Elliott
Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ebara Corporation of Tokyo, Japan.
Ebara values contributing to society by
providing superior technologies and
services related to power, energy, water,
air, and environment. Ebara Corporation
has been supplying industrial equipment
and solutions for over 90 years. Elliott
Energy benefits from Ebara’s experience
and large knowledge base, which has
enabled the development of products like
the one presented here.
The TA100 CHP is packaged as an
efficient combined heat and power (CHP)
genset. Our Microturbine CHP system is
capable of producing 100kW of electrical
energy and 172kW of thermal power per
hour. Cogeneration usage can consist of
hot water, absorption chiller or drying
system applications. Depending upon the
user application, overall total thermal
efficiency could be greater than 75%.

Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is an air to
liquid tube and fin counter
current flow design, fired by the
exhaust gas. The tube and fin
materials have been selected to
provide long life, maximum
thermal energy recovery and
allows for potable water
applications. The outlet liquid
temperature is dependent upon
inlet liquid temperature and liquid
flow.
Power Electronics
The output from the alternator is
converted into 480 or 400 VAC,
60 or 50 Hz, depending upon the
needs of the end-user.
Control System
The control system provides
automatic control of the CHP
System, Turbine and Engine
protection features as well as
complete control of engine,
starting, speed, safety systems ,
and outside communications.
