Microgen Engine Corporation (MEC) is the first company in the world to bring free piston Stirling technology from a laboratory prototype environment to an industrial setting, opening up completely new options and possibilities for the generation of power. We have developed a solid foundation for generating power and heat from any fuel, at any location, without worry.CompanyAfter a long period of developing and testing MEC started serial production and sales of the 1 kW Free Piston Stirling Engine in 2010. Combined with the burner, controllers and heat exchanger also developed by Microgen, this MEC 1 kW engine shapes the heart of a huge number of Domestic Combined Heat Power Applications that have since been installed by heating companies around Europe. Thousands of these devices are now in use in household environments and have made hundreds of millions of run hours.Application areasBased on the knowledge and experience Microgen (MEC) acquired working on the engine and the technology in a gas-fired grid-connected environment, Microgen has gradually extended the application areas of its MEC engine, on its own and with specialised partners. This implies the use of the MEC engine in so-called Remote – Off Grid areas, but also its application in solving specific problems in burning bio and alternative fuels.Learn more about Microgen at http://www.microgen-engine.com
