TechnologyStirling DK has developed a range of Stirling engines capable of converting low-value biomass into high-value, clean electricity and heat in small scale (10 - 500 kWe) power applications. Stirling Engine Updraft Gasifier Plant With an Energy Output of 140 kWe and 560 kWth The technology provides the following customer benefits: Competitive electricity and heat production costs Clean, CO2-neutral energy Independence from fossil fuels In off-grid areas: independence from the electrical grid
The Stirling process was invented in 1816 by Reverend Dr. Robert Stirling. For a further description of the Stirling process, see here.
The development of Stirling engines which can be fuelled by the combustion of biomass causes a range of special challenges. These issues have been solved by Stirling DK, the leading provider of biomass fuelled Stirling engines. For a further description of the Stirling DK design, see here.
Stirling DK's engine are driven by the heat differences created by the simultaneous heating from biomass combustion fluegases and cooling by water. The combustion process and specifically the interface between the combustion system and the Stirling engine is highly complex. Stirling DK has developed a range of different solutions, see here.
A constant research and development effort is taking place in Stirling DK both concerning the Stirling engine design and the plant component design, see here for a list of some of the most interesting R&D effort.
