Abstract
From viewpoints of energy saving and environmental problem, a LNG fueled ship is noticed in the marine field. The LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) is needed to vaporize in the ship. The LNG fueled ship will have a vaporizer and a reliquefaction device into the fuel line. In order to discuss the Stirling engine application for the LNG fueled ship, we have tested and measured the performance of heat pump and refrigerating operations using a 500 W class experimental Stirling engine generator system.
