A cogeneration system of the present invention includes: an electric power
generator (5); a cooling circuit (10) configured to cool the electric
power generator (5) with a first heat transfer medium; a heat exchanger
(16) provided on the cooling circuit (10); an exhaust heat recovery
circuit (12) through which a second heat transfer medium that exchanges
heat with the first heat transfer medium via the heat exchanger (16)
flows; a heat storage unit (20) connected to the exhaust heat recovery
circuit (12) and configured to store the second heat transfer medium that
has undergone a heat exchange by the heat exchanger (16); and a
controller (21), wherein a first temperature sensor (17), and a heater to
which electric power is supplied from the electric power generator (5),
are connected, in this order, downstream of the heat exchanger (16) in a
direction in which the second heat transfer medium flows, and the
controller (21) controls a flow rate of a circulating pump (13) so that,
based on a temperature detected by the first temperature sensor (17), the
detected temperature becomes a predetermined target temperature. In
addition to preventing water temperature decrease in heat recovery and
ensuring safety, this configuration can keep water temperature high at
all times.
