Different heat acceptors A Stirling engine needs heat to function. This heat drives the thermodynamic process which generates the power and if harvested the heat. To bring the heat in the engine, HEAT ACCEPTORS are required. For different circumstances different heat acceptors need to be used, such as clean combustion of a stable calorific gas on one side of the spectrum or the combustion of a specific biomass with varying calorific values and corrosive contents on the other. Gas heat acceptor This heat acceptor, which operates in combination with a high efficiency gas burner, leads to the best results in terms of energy efficiency, instantaneous reaction to gas/airmix flow changes and size. Biofuel heat acceptor This type of heat acceptor is capable of handling (corrosive) gasses with a varying calorific value. Within certain limits it can cope with dust. For this, it is used with a biofuel gas burner. Solar heat acceptor This heat acceptor is specifically designed for the Stirling Solar application and can handle the specifics of receiving heat from the sun.

Home About Engines Applications Buy / Engage Technology News / Information Contact Storage for solar energy is being tested in Bremerhaven May 2, 2020 Whilst the world’s attention of course is at the Covid-19 pandemic, still beautiful and important things for the world’s future in the field of sustainable/renewable energy are happening. Microgen Engine Corporation is proud to be part of some of these green developments. Worldwide, several respected universities and research organizations are currently working on Heat/Thermal Storage Projects. The question is how to do the extraction/conversion of the thermal energy into electricity ? Heat engines based on the Stirling Cycle, like the ones from Microgen Engine Corporation, are amongst the promising solutions. The University of Bremerhaven, also using the Microgen engine, proudly presented their Energy Conversion Unit this February. This unit is part of the European “Socrates” project, using Calcium Carbonate as the storage medium and Solar Energy as the prime energy source. The unit is ready for shipment to the South of Spain where it will be integrated with other hardware and of course further tested.
