Preliminary Design and Adiabatic Analysis of a 3kW Free Piston Stirling Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, as one kind of Stirling engines, free piston Stirling engines are attracting world attention. Free piston Stirling engines could be applied to the solar dish system, micro-CHP system and so on. The development of a free piston Stirling engine is discussed in this paper. The ideal adiabatic model is used in the preliminary design of the free piston Stirling engine. The key parameters of the designed engine and the thermodynamic analysis are described in detail. Then the performance of the engine is obtained.
