RP Sorry 137 KWh a day is the correct value. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fren: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]Fvr Ake Hedman Skickat: den 6 april 2004 11:02 Till: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Dmne: SV: SV: ] Superb low temperature differential Stirling Engine But if you use a higher temp difference. In my case I warm the house with pellets and say I have a stirling engine in a pre stage to my heater. pellets burn with a temp around 1200 C 1200 + 273 - 300 / 1475 = 79% 1/3 => 27% This goes to the electric generator. I guess the losses are in heat so it can be used it to warm the house. I use about 1000 kg of pellets a week for warming in the winter ( big house ). The total energy used a day is thus 1000 * 4.8kWh = 4800 KWh Say I have 20% efficiency for the electivity generator I can take out 960 KWh a day in electric energy!!! and have the rest left to warm the house.
