Study on the Regenerator for Stirling Engine which Suits the Heat Source

Abstract

Stirling engine attracts the attention recently, because it can use various energy including renewable energy as heat source. The condition of the high-temperature part of the engine is different from the convention, when the renewable energy is utilized. Therefore, conventional heat exchangers may not be suitable. In this study, it was examined about suitable matrix material and dimension for regenerator, using a calculation model, SETMA for various operating conditions.
