Hi everyone. Sorry for updating later.Thanks for supporting our team. Now, I will introduce our product briefly. Our product is to design or improve a house or building to use much less energy. At the same time, we design and improve stirling engine solar system to provide the electricity to the house or building. Our system is able to efficiently produce lots of energy and to effectively store this energy for future use. To produce our system, we have combined the best energy production and energy storage systems: Dish-Stirling technology and Molten Salt. The Dish-Stirling technology was developed by the Arizona-based Stirling Energy Systems. It is similar to a parabolic trough in that it consists of a parabolic mirror display. However, it has held the record for efficiency in converting solar energy into grid-quality electricity since 1984 with a conversion factor of more than 29%; it is much more efficient than parabolic troughs because it also uses a SES Stirling engine. The Stirling engine has many advantages as its theoretical efficiency is nearly equal to the Carnot Cycle efficiency. None of its internal parts become fouled by the combustion process and any fuel source can be used with it. Also, it has fewer moving parts than diesel engines and operates relatively quietly. Molten salt is usually used with solar towers, but we are adapting it to work with Dish-Stirling technology. It is a mixture of 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium-nitrate. It provides an efficient, low-cost medium in which to store thermal energy. Its operating temperatures are compatible with today’s high-pressure and high-temperature. Another advantage of using molten salt is that it is non-flammable and nontoxic. Let me know if you have any questions and thoughts.
