Development of a Wood Powder Fuelled 35 kW Stirling CHP Unit
Author
Summary, in English
In a three-year project, a wood powder fuelled Stirling engine CHP unit will be developed and run in field test. The project will use the double-acting four-cylinder Stirling engine SM3D with an electric output of 35 kW. This engine is a further development of the engine SM3B that has been developed at the Technical University of Denmark. The engine heater is being adapted for use with wood powder as fuel. During a two-year period a combustion system for this engine, using wood powder as fuel will be developed at Lund University, Sweden, in cooperation with the Technical University of Denmark and with the wood powder boiler manufacturer VTS AB.
The unit is to be run in CHP operation by Vattenfall - the largest electric power company in Sweden - in a one-year field test in Älvkarleby, Sweden, and the operation of the unit will be evaluated at the end of the field test period.
The unit is intended for blocks of flats, schools, local heat production plants and the wood industry.
