Summary

Stirling engines have many unique advantages including higher thermal efficiencies, preferable exhaust gas characteristics, multi-fuel usage, and low noise and vibration. On the other hand, heat pump systems are very attractive for space heating and cooling, and industrial usage. There are several environmental merits of Stirling-driven vapour compression (SDVC) systems. A design method for the SDVC has been developed. The attractive SDVC performance using conventional and alternaive refrigerants was shown. From the calculated TEWI and operating costs, the SDVC system with alternative refrigerants has a potential for future air-conditioning systems.
