Stirling Alpha Engine with Circulation

Authors: Josef Bukac

Stirling engine of type alpha is the field to which this paper belongs. Such engines are used for micro-co-generation of electric power. So far, we were able to find references to those sources of heat for which the temperature is easily kept constant, such as natural gas or pellets. For more independent source of heat we want to consider firewood burnt in a wood stove. We are presenting an idea of circulation of the working gas to increase the temperature difference enabling the engine to run under varying conditions. The circulation makes sense if there is a way of cooling the working gas.
