OFF-LINE STIRLING-ENGINE THERMAL POWER PLANT

摘要

thermal engineering; off-line power supplies for stationary and mobile loads. SUBSTANCE: in the course of running Stirling engine 1 produces useful energy which is conveyed to power consumer 5 mounted on same shaft. Cooling system 6 of engine 1 functions to reduce coolant temperature below ambient by means of evaporator 16 incorporated in refrigerating machine 9. High-temperature exhaust gases are passed from combustion chamber 3 through line 2 to steam-ejector refrigerating machine 9 whose evaporator 16 generates cold during its operation. Heat is conveyed from condenser 13 of refrigerating 9 to external heat-supply system through line 18. EFFECT: enhanced engine efficiency; provision for heat, cold, and power cogeneration. 1 dwg
