A10 Development of 2-cylinder Double-Acting Stirling Engine
Details
A previous double-acting Stirling engine consists of four cylinders. It has compact engine size and high performance, because overall space in the engine is used effectively. However the engine needs complex and many mechanical parts in a piston drive mechanism, such as a swash plate mechanism. Then we are interested in the configurations of a unique double-acting Stirling engine that consists of two cylinders. In this paper, we discuss about characteristics of the unique engine and show outline of the engine performance with a prototype Stirling engine.
