On August 17, 2021, the research team from frauscher thermal motors celebrated a successful milestone: the prototype of an auxiliary power unit achieved a stable charging current of 40 amps on a truck battery set with a nominal voltage of 24 volts. This means a...
In January 2018 we put the first prototypes of our alphagamma® motors in the 7.5 kW class into operation on our test benches. After a total of 29,000 hours of operating experience, both in internal test operations and in external practical use, we can now proudly...
As part of the national innovation award ceremony, Verbund’s General Director Dipl. Ing. Wolfgang Anzengruber, in the presence of Minister Dr. Margarete Schramböck handed over the special prize VERENA to the research company Frauscher Thermal Motors. The award...
After two and a half years of operating experience, including extreme stress tests in the field, we may draw a very positive balance: alphagamma® technology is indeed the key to maintenance-free combustion engines. Maintenance-free, at least regarding to the...
As part of the research project “Lean gas CHP”, we installed our mobile Stirling CHP on the site of a landfill and powered it with landfill gas over a period of 4 weeks in January 2020. Unlike previous field tests, the cooling circuit had to be maintained...
On occasion of an experimental installation in an agricultural biogas plant, BIOENERGY 2020+ conducted comprehensive analyses of overall performance and exhaust gas quality. In addition to carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide, the organic hydrocarbons, the carcinogenic...
Methane is extremely damaging to the climate: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated in its 5th Assessment Report AR5 that, within an observation period of 20 years, methane has an 84 times higher global warming potential (GWP) compared to...
The Reinhalteverband Schärding/Inn kindly provided us a sewage gas connection and we were able to set up our mobile Stirling CHP right next to the company building for a test period of 4 weeks. The main goal of the trial was to determine the behaviour of the burner,...
A complete Stirling CHP unit built on a Trailer is available to us for the purposes of external testing as well as for fairs and exhibitions. The mobile CHP can be equipped with either a Frauscher alphagamma® Stirling Type G600i or G600a and includes gas filter, gas...
Recently we disassembled a machine after 1000 hours of operating time on the test stand in order to be able to extrapolate the expected maintenance-free operating time based on the wear data. Neither on the cylinder surface nor on the piston skirt measurable wear and...
