ShareA Stirling-Rankine fuel-fired heat pump.
Author(s) : WOOD J. G., UNGER R., LANE N. W.
Summary
The design combines a free-piston Stirling engine prime mover with a linear compressor Rankine heat pump. Engines of this type are being developed and tested for household sized natural gas-fired cogeneration units. In February 2000, a major manufacturer announced the coming commercialization of linear compressors for refrigeration. In this fuel-fired heat pump design, the engine drives the compressor directly, eliminating the inefficiencies of mechanical to electrical and electrical to mechanical conversions.
