Abstract
Koichi HIRATA, Yoichi NIKI and Masakuni KAWADA, National Maritime Research Institute, Tokyo The authors had developed a marine heat recovery system with Stirling engine generators. In the research project, three experimental Stirling engines were developed. The marine heat recovery system had carried to a ship for field test. After the field tests on the ship, an endurance performance of the Stirling engine was measured and estimated with 3000-hour operation in our laboratory. In this paper, the results of the endurance test are described.
