Study on Exhaust Heat Electrical Generating System in Carbonization Furnace for Waste Disposal Using Stirling Engine

Abstract

Introduction of a waste carbonization furnace is advanced as a countermeasure to the global environmental problem. To reduce the power consumption of the carbonization furnace which is able to carbonize oily waste and recover oil in the oil field, the authors installed the Stirling engine generator into the carbonization furnace and conducted a demonstration. As a result, output of power generation 214W was obtained, and a possibility of the exhaust heat generation of electricity for the carbonization furnace using the Stirling engine generator could be proved.
