Double-acting type (DA type) six cylinder Stirling engine is researched to raise the performance characteristic. On account of get a quantitative evaluation of cooler performance, thermocouple was mounted between cooler and regenerator for temperature measurement. Therefore, mounting thermocouple allowed measuring temperature of the working gas passage double-ended of cooler. The coefficient of overall heat transmission κ was able to calculate value as showing the cooler performance. In this study, we report the compared result about performance of the leak-free cooler obtained by experiment.
