DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF A FREE-PISTON STIRLING ENGINE DRIVEN HEAT PUMP WITH MAGNETIC COUPLING.

Author(s) : VINCENT R. J.

Summary

A NEW LOW-COST DESIGN FOR A FREE-PISTON STIRLING ENGINE DRIVEN HEAT PUMP USES A LINEAR-ACTING MAGNETIC COUPLING TO TRANSFER ENGINE POWER ACROSS A HERMETIC SHELL. COMPLIANCE IN THE COUPLING AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY OF THE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO MATCHING THE ENGINE DYNAMICS TO THE COMPRESSOR LOAD. THE PAPER DESCRIBES ET ENGINE EFFICIENCIES EXCEEDED 25% BASED ON FUEL HIGHER HEATING VALUE AND HEAT PUMP COP WAS GREATER THAN 0.95 AT THE 308 K (35 DEG C) AMBIENT, 3-TON POINT.
