This paper shows a new regenerator which is called active-type regenerator for practical use. Then also fundamental operating characteristic of a Stirling cycle machine using an Active-type regenerator are presented. Then technical points for these practical uses are arranged. We designed and developed an active type regenerator which is using polyurethane foam matrix and copper matrix as a heat storage material. Then, the availability of that was evaluated by an experiment. The authors have designed and developed an Active-type regenerator for small size Stirling cycle machine. This paper presents some thermodynamic characteristics shown by PV analysis and experiments on a Stirling cycle machine with an active-type regenerator made of copper matrixes and nylon or urethane matrixes. These results demonstrate that the active-type regenerator is one of the promising candidates as a high efficiency regenerator for the Stirling cycle machine.
