Combined heat and power – Mesh for Stirling technologies

Key element for thermodynamics

Stirling engines are perfectly suited for sustainable energy sources. These thermodynamic machines convert heat – from sources like solar energy or biomass combustion – into mechanical energy. Operating on a closed circuit, these engines cycle a working gas that expands and contracts with temperature differences. A critical component of this technology is the regenerator, made using specialized wire mesh. Customizing porosity and overall design to the requirements of each unique machine is crucial for increasing the efficiency of regenerators.

GKD specializes in the field of regenerators and delivers customized mesh solutions that meet the customer’s unique thermodynamic and geometric specifications. Key quality features include precise preassembly and carefully controlled mesh porosity. Our services range from custom production and prototype development to series production, including solutions for applications in the high-kilowatt range. Our technology encompasses the entire manufacturing process – from mesh production and application-oriented post-treatment to the production of sintered regenerators as ready-to-use assembly parts for series applications.
