With smartblock 7.5 to smartblock 75, the smartblock® block-type thermal power station series forms a product range in the power segment up to 75 kW electric, staggered according to demand. This enables an optimally coordinated and cost-effective solution for different object sizes and applications.
The wide range thus offers possible applications from apartment buildings to wellness hotels or municipal facilities such as indoor swimming pools or commercial and industrial buildings. The units can also be operated in stand-alone mode to provide emergency power in the event of a power failure.
Even though combined heat and power (CHP) is a well-known technology, the quality and reliability of a CHP unit depend on many design details.
A multitude of patent-pending solutions, as well as constant further development, ensure that our smartblocks have outstanding performance characteristics in terms of efficiency, noise, reliability and ease of maintenance.
Fit for the future
The smartblocks can be operated with different fuels.
In addition to the familiar natural and liquid gases, they also include renewable biogases and sewage gases. Up to 40% hydrogen can be added to the fuel gas with almost constant performance. Our CHPs are therefore ideally equipped for the expected increase in the importance of hydrogen.
The heartbeat of the smartblock engines is determined by the newly developed GSC technology* (GSC = Gas Stream Combustion). This new combustion process achieves complete flame penetration of the combustion chamber, which has been optimized to minimize surface area. The uniformity of combustion and thermodynamic efficiency reach peak values.
The result is a smartblock engine.
Stable, robust, low-emission, highly efficient and easy to service.

... thanks to storable liquid petroleum gas Switzerland wants to become less dependent on imported energy, especially Russian natural gas. To this end, the Federal Council recently discussed possible supplies of "Liquid Petroleum Gas", abbreviated LPG, with other countries. The fuel liquid petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), has been known in Switzerland for some time. Read more
Revitalisation of a historically important heritage site in Langenthal The historically important Porzi Areal in Langenthal is being further developed and additionally revitalised to create a new work and meeting centre in Langenthal. We were commissioned by Ducksch Anliker Architekten to prepare an energy study with a detailed proposal for use. Read more
