HUBKOLBENMASCHINE ZUR UMWANDLUNG VON WAERME IN KRAFT NACH DEM STIRLING-PROZESS MIT ZUFUEHRUNG DER WAERME DURCH INNERE VERBRENNUNG

摘要

Three variable-volume gas chambers (1, 2, 3) and a regenerator (4) are connected via positively controlled valves (7, 8, 9, 10) so that there are a compression (2), expansion (1) and exhaust (3) chamber. On the basis of the arrangement the gas exchange is performed by each piston stroke which produces intake and exhaust. The invention combines the high expansion temperature of internal combustion with the thermodynamically efficient Stirling process.
