The equipment of the now shut down geothermal power plant of Unterhaching is now being set up for sale in a tender. Sold as a waste heat power plant, it is a Kalina technology based plant utilising ammonia water as working fluid.
In July 2018, we reported on the sale of the equipment of the geothermal power plant technology of the Unterhaching geothermal power plant in Germany.
Now the equipment has been listed on an auction site in the Netherlands.
The technology of the plant is based on Kalina technology, which provides the opportunity to generate electricity from low temperature resources, such as waste heat and geothermal energy.
The Tender Sale of the Kalina power plant consists of the following components: NH3 turbine, a gearbox, a generator and accessories.
Previously the Kalina plant at the Unterhaching site was operated with thermal water as a heat transfer medium.
The working medium of the Kalina plant is ammonia water. This mixture enables an optimum electricity yield when using so-called low-temperature heat sources such as thermal water in this case.
