Small Hybrid Solar Power System: First Field Test Results

Daniel Favrat, El Hadj Malick Kane

This paper presents field tests of an original concept of a small hybrid solar power plant integrating three technologies: hermetic volumetric scroll expander-generators installed in two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC), a (bio-)Diesel engine with h ...

Electrochemical promotion of conventional and bipolar reactor configurations for NO reduction

Christos Comninellis, Ivan Bolzonella

The redn. of NO by CO or C3H6 in the presence of O2, a reaction of great technol. importance, was studied on porous polycryst. Rh catalyst films using a single-chamber and a wireless bipolar cell configuration. In the latter case the Rh catalyst films were ...

Evaluation of the State-of-the-art of Biomass gasification for heat and electricity production

In the order to produce energy for the large amount of people still currently out of the national girds, different possibilities exist. For practical and economic reasons, the most popular one is the use of Diesel engines coupled with generator sets. Petro ...

Study of a Small Size Cogeneration Gas Engine in Stoichiometric and Lean Burn Modes: Experimentation and Simulation.

Daniel Favrat, Roger Röthlisberger, Geoffrey Basil Leyland

A medium size diesel engine converted to natural gas operation on the Otto principle has been studied under stoichiometric and lean burn operation in order to evaluate the potential to reduce the NOX exhaust gas emissions below the stringent limit prescrib ...

Swiss Motor. Modification d’un moteur diesel pour le fonctionnement au gaz naturel en cogénération. Fonctionnement avec mélange stoechiométrique (l=1) et pauvre (l>>1).

Daniel Favrat, Roger Röthlisberger, Geoffrey Basil Leyland

The Swiss limit for NOx exhaust gas emissions from decentralised electrical power and heat cogeneration units using stationary I.C. engines operating on natural gas, despite a recent increase from 80 to 250 mg/mN3 (5% O2), remains the most severe in force ...

A New Pulsed Multipoint Injection System to Reduce Natural Gas Vehicle Emissions.

Daniel Favrat

Nowadays, most of the natural gas conversion systems available on the market for bifuel vehicles are based on the venturi principle or on the continuous injection principle for the carburation of the engine. Even if the driveability of these systems is sat ...

SWISS MOTOR. Modification d’un moteur diesel pour le fonctionnement au gaz naturel en cogénération. Partie 1: fonctionnement avec mélange stoechiométrique (l = 1).

Daniel Favrat, Roger Röthlisberger

In the frame of the decentralised electrical power and heat cogeneration with stationary I. C. engines operating on natural gas, the Swiss limit for exhaust gas emissions, with 80 mg/mN3 (5% O2), is the most severe in force on an international level. On th ...

Atomic beam splitter based on multiple adiabatic passage in the optical interference pattern

Jiri Vanicek

We describe a simple and robust method of creating an efficient large-angle adiabatic passage beamsplitter that does not require the light fields to be pulsed. We present simulations that show momentum splittings of 80 \hbar k, where more than 60% of the a ...
