Research Abstract |
A Stirling engine which has a number of merits such as a wide choice of various fuels, clean exhaust, small noise, low vibration, etc.has been studied. The aim of this study is the development of farm usable Stirling engines which are simple and free from maintenance. The fundamental technical problems in the development of a Stirling engine are how to provent the working gas leakage and to reduce the mechanical friction loss. The trial-made Stirling engine was a single acting displacer type and had a lapel type bellows power piston which is named "bellowsphragm" as a brand name and a displacement piston built-in regenerator. The lapel type bellows seal performances and the characteristics of mechanical friction were examined under the normal temperature and heating conditions. The testing results show that the gas leakage was prevented and the mechanical friction loss was reduced by using the lapel type "bellowsphragm". The cycle work was gained of 19 (J/Cycle) at the gas temperature of 400 (゚C) on the engine operation. The output power performances were improved in comparison with the previous trial-made engine.
