EURODISH

Under the Spanish-German EUROdish project, two new dish/Stirling prototypes were designed and erected to:

Reduce the price of components by using standard industrial elements.
Develop a new dish manufacturing system discarding the stretched-membrane technology and applying a molded composite-material system.
Improve the SOLO V161 ‘Stirling’ motor, especially the components in the receiver cavity.
Develop a new optimized system assembly procedure that uses new specially developed tools.
Remote control and monitoring over the WWW.
Improve the Stirling SOLO V161 motor, especially those components used in the receiver cavity.
Test pre-commercial units as reference systems.
