We look for 3-dimensional Poisson-Lie dualizable sigma models that satisfythe vanishing beta-function equations with constant dilaton field. Using thePoisson-Lie T-plurality we then construct 3-dimensional sigma models thatcorrespond to various decompositions of Drinfeld double. Models with nontrivialdilaton field may appear. It turns out that for ``traceless'' dual algebrasthey satisfy the vanishing beta-function equations as well. In certain cases the dilaton cannot be defined in some of the dual models. Weprovide an explanation why this happens and give criteria predicting when ithappens.Comment: 24 pages, the published version; changes compared to v1: typos corrected, conclusions extended, added reference
