Free-piston Stirling Engine Development. Final report, January 1, 1986-December 31, 1987
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6912135
The free-piston Stirling engine (FPSE) is being developed as a potential gas-fired prime mover for heat applications in the residential market. The heat pump features an advanced FPSE coupled to a Rankine refrigerant compressor through a hermetically sealed diaphragm-activated hydraulic transmission. During the past two years the program has concentrated on developing the engine and compressor component to improve performance and reliability. The report presents the progress made during the period and the results of an independent test and evaluation performed on the Mark I heat-pump module by the HVAC manufacturer, Lennox Industries.
