Key Techniques for Designing Free Piston Stirling Engine

2012 Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference, 2012
In order to satisfy the requirement of power system for deep-space exploration, key issues for designing free piston Stirling engine were analyzed. With the thermodynamic and kinetic coupling designing ideas, we designed a set of free piston Stirling engine whose output power is 100W at operating pressures 8bar, hot space temperatures 700K, and cold ...

Gas action effect of free piston Stirling engine

Energy Conversion and Management, 2016
Abstract Gas action effect of free piston Stirling engine (FPSE) is very important to solve the key problem of start-up and find the way to increase its efficiency. The gas force is a key force to free FPSE. In this paper, the gas action effect has been analyzed by the method of rotation vector decomposition. It is found that the gas forces of piston

A Fractional Horsepower Free-Piston Stirling Engine-Pump

6th International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (IECEC), 2008
Stirling cycle engines offer potential advantages over internal combustion engines in fuel choices, noise, and emissions. A free-piston Stirling cycle engine-pump (FPSEP) has been investigated for potential use in human-scale, fractional horsepower applications.

Reflections on Free-Piston Stirling Engines, Part 1: Cyclic Steady Operation

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 1998
Abstract: In spite of the conceptual simplicity, the design of the free-piston Stirling engines (FPSEs) is made difficult by the necessity to accurately foresee the effect of the various geometric, dynamic, and thermodynamic variables on their behavior. This paper describes a fully developed mathematical model able to characterize these machines taking

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.
