ARPA-E GENSETS Project

For the ARPA-E GENSETS program, we are providing a robust, scalable, and fuel flexible burner and heat exchanger system for state-of-the-art microturbine and Stirling engine power generation systems. The team at LBNL will leverage its low-swirl burner technology developed for a gas turbine engine and adapt it for use with a Stirling engine heater head. This engine heater head will provide ultra-low emissions while improving heat transfer efficiency to the working fluid of the engine.
