The characteristics of a Stirling engine of Freon(R-113)-Air mixture as a working fluid are studied. A small Stirling engine is designed. The engine rotates by itself only at some mixture ratio of Freon and air at a speed from 40 to 60 rpm when the temperature of the heater and cooler should be kept at 373K and 288K respectively. By using a Freon-Air mixture, the average heat transfer coefficient at the heater wall is improved by a factor of 10, compared with using air only. In addition, the power output is positive even in the compression space.
