Abstract

A heater head for a multi-cylinder double acting hot gas engine in which each cylinder is surrounded by an annular regenerator unit, and in which the tops of each cylinder and its surrounding regenerator are interconnected by a multiplicity of heater tubes. A manifold for the heater tubes has a centrally disposed duct connected to the top of the cylinder and surrounded by a wider duct connecting the other ends of the heater tubes with the regenerator unit.

Heater head for stirling engine

Patent Corey, John A. (R.D. #2, Box 101 E, North Troy, NY 12182)

A monolithic heater head assembly which augments cast fins with ceramic inserts which narrow the flow of combustion gas and obtains high thermal effectiveness with the assembly including an improved flange design which gives greater durability and reduced conduction loss.

Hot gas engine heater head

Patent Bratt, J.C.

A heater head is described for a multi-cylinder double-acting hot gas engine powered by solar radiation and having each cylinder coaxially surrounded by a regenerator. The heater head comprises: heater tubes for conducting gas flow between each of the cylinders and the regenerator surrounding the cylinder. Each of the heater tubes includes serially connected first, second, and third tube parts. The first part follows a first involute curve on an imaginary conical surface. The second part follows a second involute curve on the imaginary conical surface radially outside the first part. And the third part follows a third involute curvemore »« less

Non-intrusive measurement of hot gas temperature in a gas turbine engine

Patent DeSilva, Upul P.; Claussen, Heiko; Yan, Michelle Xiaohong; ...

A method and apparatus for operating a gas turbine engine including determining a temperature of a working gas at a predetermined axial location within the engine. An acoustic signal is encoded with a distinct signature defined by a set of predetermined frequencies transmitted as a non-broadband signal. Acoustic signals are transmitted from an acoustic transmitter located at a predetermined axial location along the flow path of the gas turbine engine. A received signal is compared to one or more transmitted signals to identify a similarity of the received signal to a transmitted signal to identify a transmission time for themore »« less

Multi-cylinder hot gas engine

Patent Corey, John A. (North Troy, NY)

A multi-cylinder hot gas engine having an equal angle, V-shaped engine block in which two banks of parallel, equal length, equally sized cylinders are formed together with annular regenerator/cooler units surrounding each cylinder, and wherein the pistons are connected to a single crankshaft. The hot gas engine further includes an annular heater head disposed around a central circular combustor volume having a new balanced-flow hot-working-fluid manifold assembly that provides optimum balanced flow of the working fluid through the heater head working fluid passageways which are connected between each of the cylinders and their respective associated annular regenerator units. This balancedmore »« less
