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 tem-
perature differences. A critical component of this
technology is the regenerator, made using special-
ized wire mesh. Customizing porosity and overall
design to the requirements of each unique machine
is crucial for increasing the efficiency of regenera-
tors.
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 poros-
ity. Our services range from custom production
and prototype development to series production,
including solutions for applications in the high kilo-
watt range.
