Burner for Stirling engines
A burner is described for a Stirling engine, comprising: a housing; a baffle for partitioning the interior of the housing into an air chamber and a combustion chamber, the baffle having an outer circumferential portion supported on the housing and a centrally located cylindrical portion of tapered configuration; a generally cylindrical ceramic burner cone for primary combustion of a mixture of fuel and combustion air, the burner cone being inserted into and retained by the cylindrical portion of the baffle and having a tapered outer circumferential surface and an annular end face on an upstream side thereof; a plurality of heater tubes supported on the housing and arranged on an inner circumferential side of the combustion chamber; and a fuel injector nozzle supported on the housing for injecting fuel into the burner cone at an upstream portion thereof; the baffle being equipped with an engagement portion having an annular outer circumferential surface for engaging the annular end face of the burner cone; the burner cone being retained by the tapered cylindrical portion of the baffle and the engagement portion.
