Scope of our work
Conceptual design, analysis, detailed design, mechanical and electrical engineering, site supervision, commissioning
The EuroDish system was installed on the site of the research institute,
close to the famous solar furnace of Odeillo. The model facility is exposed to the particularly hard operational conditions
of a mountain site in 1800 m altitude with very high solar radiation
and extreme frost and snowfall in the winter.
Concentrator Diameter: 8.5 m
Reflecting area: 57 m²
Average concentration: 2400
Suspension: azimuthal
Control system: fully automatic, PC/microcontroller
Remote control: via Internet
Stirling Engine: SOLO Stirling 161
Type: 2 cylinder 90°V, single acting
Working gas: Hydrogen
