Summary

The Stirling cycle system is considered as being an environmentally friendly system, because the working fluid is completely free from chlorine molecules. The regenerator is the most important element of the Stirling cycle system from a performance viewpoint. Flow in a regenerator is very complicated because the regenerator is made of a matrix. So, the authors studied above all the regenerator for a domestic Stirling refrigerator. Flow was studied by using an original experimental set-up. Flow velocities and pressures on the outside of a matrix in the regenerator were measured in a round pipe. The authors examined the effects of inlet or outlet shape and area on flow. Pressure losses were measured on the sides of the regenerator and friction factors were expressed as empirical formulas for each condition of inlet shape of regenerator or matrixes.
