STIRLING ENGINE

A bench top accessory designed to allow students to experimentally investigate one of the methods available to convert heat energy directly into work. The engine consists of a water cooled power cylinder and a transfer cylinder connected via a common duct. A single acting power piston and double acting displacer piston are connected to a flywheel. Learn about STIRLING ENGINE suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. The cycle of the engine consists of two isothermal processes and two constant volume processes. Heat to expand the captive gas charge and drive the power piston is provided by an electrical element controlled from the standard instrumentation console. Learn about STIRLING ENGINE specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. As the unit is water cooled, it can operate continuously. A belt brake dynamometer allows the mechanical output of the engine to be measured. Learn about STIRLING ENGINE price for optimal educational outcomes.. Control and measurement of the heater input power and shaft output torque and speed allows overall system performance to be measured at a range of speeds and heater temperatures.
