STIRLING ENGINE - JAPAN AEROSPACE EXPLORATION

Title:

STIRLING ENGINE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/042958

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A high efficiency Stirling engine is obtained which is capable of increasing the temperature of a section heated to high temperature and superior in thermal efficiency in that heat loss in a member for connecting high and low temperature sections is suppressed. The high temperature section (5) and the member (a regenerator housing (16)) for connecting the high and low temperature sections are split-constructed using separate materials. The high temperature section (5) is formed of a heat resistant/high heat conductive material which is high in heat resistance and in heat conductivity, and the regenerator housing (16) which connects the high and low temperature sections (5, 7) is formed of a heat resistant low heat transmission material which is low in heat conductivity. The two are integrally joined together to provide an integral sealed structure.
