Solar Thermal Dish Stirling Engine 500 W, Thailand

The Chagrin Valley Roller Rink has been in operation for over 60 years in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Originally located in 1888 in a former paper mill building, the current rink was built in 1947 and looks like an airplane hangar. It has been owned by the Klatka family since 1963, who recently celebrated their 50th anniversary of ownership. The rink offers various skating sessions like open skating, lessons, parties, and school events on its original maple wood floor that was restored in 2014.

Thermal Analysis and Optimization of a regenerator in a Solar Stirling engine

Rohith Jayaram

This document analyzes and optimizes the regenerator of a solar Stirling engine. It aims to minimize various losses in the regenerator that reduce engine efficiency. These losses include fluid friction, reheat, conduction through the matrix, temperature swing, and shuttle conduction. The document models heat transfer and fluid flow through the regenerator. It calculates expressions for each loss type based on regenerator geometry, material properties, and operating parameters. The objective is to determine optimal values for properties like wire diameter, porosity, and material to maximize heat transfer while minimizing losses and pressure drop through the regenerator matrix.

Jack Wong

This document summarizes the design of a small 500W solar thermal dish Stirling system for use in Thailand. Key aspects include: 1. Thailand has average daily solar insolation of 550W/m2, requiring the system to be designed to operate at lower insolation levels than existing 1000W/m2 systems. 2. The design includes a 2.5m diameter parabolic dish, 4-cylinder gamma type Stirling engine with rotary drive mechanism and regenerator, able to produce 550W of power. 3. Testing of a prototype was conducted at AREF in Bangkok, showing it could produce 550W of power at an operating temperature of 650C and speed of 1200rpm when

This document discusses solar powered Stirling engines. It begins with an introduction to Stirling engines, invented in 1816, which convert heat into mechanical energy. It then describes the basic components and operation of Stirling engines, including the regenerator and four main processes. Three main types of Stirling engines are outlined - Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Applications discussed include using Stirling engines with solar power by concentrating sunlight, as well as concentrating solar plants. The Carnot and Stirling thermodynamic cycles are also compared. A case study highlights a solar Stirling engine with a peak efficiency of 31.25%. Advantages include high efficiency and no emissions when paired with solar, while disadvantages include needing hybridization for continuous operation.

A solar powered Stirling engine works by using solar energy to heat hydrogen gas in a Stirling engine's receiver. The pressure from the expanding gas drives a piston which powers a generator to produce electricity. Stirling engines can achieve higher efficiency than photovoltaic cells by using concentrating solar power to focus sunlight on the receiver. While Stirling engines are initially costly, they provide a low-cost way to produce power from solar energy and offer advantages like being quiet and able to run on various heat sources. However, challenges include the complexity of sealing parts and initial costs being high compared to the amount of power produced. Overall, solar Stirling technology represents a promising renewable energy option to help address growing power demands and reliance on fossil fuels

Solar Power Stirling Engine

Soumya Swaraj Moharana

The document discusses the Stirling engine, a sustainable technology invented by Robert Stirling in 1816 to provide an alternative to steam engines. The Stirling engine converts heat into mechanical power using a fixed quantity of working fluid and temperature differences, without the risk of exploding like steam engines. It has high efficiency and can run on various heat sources. The main components are a power piston and displacer piston, which move based on the compression and expansion of the working fluid as it alternates between heated and cooled sections of the engine. Potential applications include power generation, heating and cooling, and use in areas like marine engines, aircraft engines, and nuclear power plants.

The document discusses solar Stirling power technology. A solar Stirling engine uses concentrated sunlight as a heat source to more efficiently generate electricity than solar panels. It consists of a closed cylinder containing gas that is heated at one end by sunlight and cooled at the other. As the gas expands and contracts, a generator is driven to produce electricity. The engine has a simple design with few moving parts, is efficient, clean, and silent. It can run on various heat sources and has low maintenance costs, though initial costs are high and it faces challenges with sealing and heat losses. The technology has scope for large-scale power production to address energy crises given that sunlight is a renewable source.

Low Speed Surface Aerator Controller

Jack Wong

This document summarizes the development of a new solar powered water wheel aerator model, the Chaipattana RX-2-3. The original RX-2-2 model required a 2HP induction motor that was difficult to power with solar cells. The new RX-2-3 model uses a 150W universal motor that can be powered by a single 300W solar panel connected to a DC-DC converter. A new controller was also developed that can operate on input voltages from 100VDC to 55VDC from the solar panel. Simulation and testing showed the new solar powered system can operate for at least 8 hours and has higher oxygen transfer efficiencies than the original model.
