A STIRLING ENGINE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A Stirling engine assembly for a DCHP system. A Stirling engine (1) is suspended from a mounting frame (5) by a plurality of tension springs (6). A n annular absorber mass (2) surrounds the Stirling engine and is suspended fro m the engine on a plurality of resilient members (3) arranged asymmetrically about the main axis. The asymmetric arrangement is provided by members of different stiffnesses, or irregular spacing of the members. The absorber mas s (2) itself may be reduced adjacent to the resilient members.
