Stirling engine with integrated gas combustor

Patent Meijer, R J

This paper discusses a Stirling engine. It comprises heat transfer stacks having a cooler, regenerator and heat exchanger stacked end-to-end with a working cylinder adjacent each of the stacks and connected therewith by a hot connecting duct, the heat exchangers including an annular cluster of circumferentially spaced tubes extending from the regenerator in a substantially axial direction to an annular manifold axially spaced from the regenerator such that at any given time during operation of the Stirling engine working fluid in the tubes is flowing in a single axial direction through the heat exchanger, a combustion chamber on an endmore »« less
Stirling cycle engine

Patent Ishiki, N ; Takei, Y

This patent describes a Stirling cycle type engine including a cylinder having a cylinder cap, a power piston and a displacer piston both slidably carried within the cylinder. The displacer piston divides the interior of the cylinder into two chambers one of which is located between the power piston and displacer piston. The two chambers are connected to one another through cooler means for cooling a fluid in the apparatus. A regenerator means for absorbing heat from a fluid and heater means for heating a fluid in the apparatus, the improvement comprises: the cooler means comprising a cooling tank formedmore »« less
Stirling engine

Patent Bartolini, C M ; Naso, V ; Suraci, F

This patent describes an improved Stirling engine, having an expansion piston and a compression piston sliding into respective cylinders and defining an upper side and a lower side therein, a heater and a cooler on the upper side of the cylinders, and a regenerator in communication between the heater and cooler, comprising: a piston rod integral with each piston and moving coaxially to the cylinder axis; a bottom on the lower side of each cylinder for forming respective lower chambers, the rods being slidingly and sealingly engaged through the bottoms; labyrinth dynamic seals formed on the expansion piston, for allowingmore »« less
Stirling cycle type engine

Patent Hashimoto, K

A Stirling cycle type engine is described comprising: five cylinders annularly and equiangularly arranged; a displacer-piston slidably fitted within each cylinder and dividing an interior space of the cylinder into an expansion chamber for the expansion of a working fluid and a compression chamber for the compression of the working fluid; heat exchanging elements comprising serially connected cooler means for cooling the working fluid, a regenerator, and heater means for heating the working fluid, the heat exchanging elements being placed equidistantly between the cylinders, each of the heat exchanging elements being in communication with the expansion chamber of one ofmore »« less
