Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5827410

This report presents the results of the Phase II and Phase IIIB Stirling/Rankine Heat Activated Heat Pump produce development program. In the Phase II program, a complete gas fired heat activated prototype residential heat pump system was developed and tested. Detailed test data from the Phase II program are presented in Volume II of this report. Results of the Phase II program indicated deficiencies in the performance of the free-piston Stirling engine and mismatching of the dynamic characteristics of the engine and the compressor.
