Prodrive

Disenco’s prototype combined heat and power unit is being developed by British motorsport and engineering specialist, Prodrive, which runs the Aston Martin Racing and Subaru World Rally Teams.

Prodrive’s head of engineering, David Hemming, said:  “Prodrive has applied innovation and pragmatic use of the latest engine technology to deliver an efficient, reliable and commercially viable stirling engine for the Disenco m-CHP unit.  While the stirling engine concept is almost 200 years old, originally invented as an alternative to the steam engine, it has taken until now for technology and environmental demands to catch up. The Disenco Stirling engine is unique in its compactness, power output and practicality. We are very pleased to have been so involved in the development of what has the potential to be a market leading device.”
