In a known arrangement for generating electrical power, in a gas-fired hot-water boiler, a Stirling motor is connected between the combustion chamber and a heat exchanger. The novel arrangement is intended to avoid the necessity of using moving components which are subject to mechanical wear. In the area of operation of in each case one gas-supplied burner flame, an electrolytic fuel element (1) is provided in which a converter (2) for converting carbon monoxide which has not been burnt during the process into hydrogen, in a manner known per se, is connected upstream and an invertor (3) for converting the generated electric DC voltage into an electrical AC voltage is connected downstream. The arrangement is used in a gas-fired hot-water boiler, such as a continuous-flow heater, heating boiler or the like. It permits the parallel generation of heat and electrical power. The advantages are effective utilisation of energy and economical, cost-effective production. <IMAGE> |
