Abstract
When a freight ship is in a harbor, a Diesel engine generator is operated to supply electric energy in the ship. Exhaust gas from the Diesel engine causes air pollution in the harbor area. In order to solve the air pollution, we have tried to develop a heat recovery system with Stirling engine generators. In this paper, we report a composition of the heat recovery system and a control system for the Stirling engine, experimental results of the Stirling engine generators with exhaust gas from a Diesel engine in our laboratory, and operating results of field tests on a ship.
