Coolants, Solar Heat, and Power Generation

In order to do this you must have a heat source, in your case solar, but also a cold sink or some other way to recondense the varop to be reused. Without that, the system only works briefly. In existing refrigerant systems, the recondensing is done with mechanical energy input in the form of a compresser. If you have some other source of this mechanical energy, then it could work fine. Also if you have a way of harnessing enough solar energy to create the vaporization and also have ice or cold water nearby, you might be able to get enough energy in the delta between them.

Do a Google search on Thermal Generators.

also try http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%22stirling+engines%22&meta=

can you arrange some components like stirling engine, generators for small capacity units from USA.

There is a special kind of Organic Rankine Cycle, working with water plus ammonia. We don´t have this product but we know how do it. We hope, some day, to manufacturer 10KW solar power plants systems in Brazil. Fernando. Acquaway

I am interested in building solar generator for off grid application with 1 kw. Can you help me.

For an "outside the box" system, you may find this interesting:

Strikes me this may be an alternative solution in some situations.

I am also interested in the same product, please contact me if you have got informatiojn.
