Sterling engines

What can be seen from the table is that fuel cell technology is entering an already very competitive space. Technologies such as the Whisper-Gen sterling engine (a thermal-combustion generation technology), which is expected to be fully commercial within the next couple of years, already have excellent conversion efficiencies and a comparatively low price tag.

Power systems that run on compressed gases such as propane, methane, or hydrogen are problematical. Range may be limited since distribution systems are not in place and each station pump could cost 30,000. So-called synthetic fuels could be used directly in engines or to generate electricity from fuel cells for electric motors. Other combustion engines such as the sterling motor may also become options.

BP Chemicals developed a batch process capable of producing 100 kg of acetylated fibre per day, and a larger batch process, capable of producing 1 tonne per day, was to be constructed by Depac Engineering Ltd. Sheen (1992) also reported on an analysis of the costs for batch and continuous plants producing 10 000 tonnes of acetylated fibre per year at a WPG of 20 %. An essential part of the process to ensure commercial viability was the recovery of by-product acetic acid. The calculated costs in pounds sterling, based on fully dried fibre and in 1992 prices, are shown in Table 8.3.
