Arrow Linen Supply Company

A Green Commercial Building in Brooklyn, NY.

  • Arrow Linen is an industrial laundry facility located near Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. The facility uses large quantities of hot water and electricity to clean uniforms, table linens and other items for restaurant and institutional customers.

    Two 150 kW engines were installed to produce electric power and preheat hot water consumed in the facility. Because hot water use is high and entering water temperatures are low, the system achieves consistently high CHP efficiency (over 80% HHV). The engines operate about 10-14 hours per day, six days a week.
