Vibration absorber for a free piston stirling engine

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
A free piston Stirling engine has a hermetic vessel containing a displacer piston and a power piston coupled to each other and to the vessel by gas springs. An additional mass is coupled to the vessel by a gas spring which is tuned to the operating frequency of the engine geometrically.

Free-Piston Stirling Engine-Driven Heat Pump Program Plan

22nd Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 1987
Stirling engine driven heat pumps are one of the most attractive potential products based on Stirling engines. Their many advantages in efficiency, fuel adaptability, quietness, compactness, controllability and potential for high reliability are well known.

Dynamic analysis of a simplified free-piston Stirling engine

SIMULATION, 1980
Lumped-volume dynamic equations are derived using an energy-state formulation. This technique requires the writing of state functions for kinetic and poten tial energy. A Rayleigh dissipation function accounts for losses in the system. Using these functions, a Lagrangian is formed and the equations of motion for the system are derived.

Maximum Work of Free-Piston Stirling Engine Generators

Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2016
Abstract Using the method of adjoint equations described in Ref. [1], we have calculated the maximum thermal efficiencies that are theoretically attainable by free-piston Stirling and Carnot engine generators by considering the work loss due to friction and Joule heat.

Radioisotope-powered free-piston Stirling engine for space applications

Acta Astronautica, 1980
Abstract The paper presents a preliminary conceptual design of a 2kW(e) autonomous power system consisting of a radioisotopic heat source, free-piston Stirling engine, reciprocating induction generator and a space radiator. The proposed design features a direct thermal interfacing of the Pu-238 heat source with the Stirling engine head, low heat ...

Free Piston Stirling Engines - Some Model Tests and Simulations

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1969
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Model tests of several 0.1 hp free piston Stirling cycle engines were made. They showed good piston displacer phasing and thermal efficiency in the 10% range. An instructive isothermal computer simulation was developed which compared reasonably well with model data and allowed investigation of parameter changes ...
