SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
FOR FUTURE ENERGY
Regeneration as alternative.
WHY STIRLING ENGINE?
Best teaching and learning for any
engineering students device especially in
the field of thermodynamics.
Unique technology.
An innovation with hundreds of application.
An innovation with a mission to save the
earth.
Fuel independency.
MAIN COMPONENTS
Power piston small tightly sealed piston that
moves up when the gas inside the engine expands
Displacer larger piston and it is very loose in its
cylinder so air can move easily between the heated
cooled sections of the engine as the displacer
moves up and down
These piston move by the action of compression
and expansion.
Difference in pressure causes the piston to move
and produce power.
COMMON CONFIGURATION
GAMMA MECHANICAL CONFUGURATION
WORKING PRINCIPLE
I. One side of the engine is continuously heated
while the other side is continuously cooled.
II. First, the air moves to the hot side, where it is
heated and it expands pushing up on a piston.
III. Then the air moves through the regenerator to
the cold side, where it cools off and contracts
pulling down on the piston.
IV. Temperature change inside the engine produces
the pressure change needed to push on the
piston and make the engine run.
EFFICIENCY
Theoretically
Stirling engine efficiency = Carnot efficiency
Unfortunately working fluid or gas is not ideal this
causes the efficiency to be lower than Carnot efficiency.
