Abstract:
1. A cogeneration system comprising: a generator which generates electricity; a drive source which operates to drive the generator, and generates waste heat during the operation of the drive source; a waste heat recoverer which recovers the waste heat of the drive source; a waste heat supplier which transfers the waste heat recovered by the waste heat recoverer to a heat consumer; and a radiator which radiates the waste heat recovered by the waste heat recoverer, wherein the generator, the drive source, the waste heat recoverer, and the radiator are arranged in a single chassis, wherein the radiator includes: a bypass line branched from a heat transfer line adapted to transfer the waste heat recovered by the waste heat recoverer to the waste heat supplier; a radiating heat exchanger, through which the bypass line extends; and a valve arranged at the bypass line such that the waste heat recovered by the waste heat recoverer is transferred selectively to the waste heat supplier or to the radiating heat exchanger according to a control of the valve.
