Our first commercial application effectively converts hot flue gases (HFG) into electricity. Stirlingversal’s engine modules can seamlessly be integrated to your energy system to transform gases exceeding 700°C into usable electricity.
Hot flue gas Stirling engines are well-suited to harness thermal energy from various industries where high-temperature flue gases are produced as byproducts. Typical industries that generate thermal energy in the form of hot flue gases suitable for Stirling engines are:
1. Power Generation:
• Biomass power plants
2. Cement Production:
• Cement kilns produce hot flue gases during the clinker manufacturing process.
3. Steel Manufacturing:
• Steel mills generate hot flue gases from processes such as blast furnaces and steelmaking.
4. Chemical Processing:
• Chemical plants often produce hot flue gases during various chemical reactions and processes.
5. Waste-to-Energy Plants:
• Incineration of municipal solid waste generates hot flue gases that can be utilized.
6. Paper and Pulp Industry:
• Pulp mills and paper production facilities produce hot flue gases during combustion processes.
