The theoretical functioning of a kinematic one-stage beta-type Stirling motor-driven compressor was analyzed.This machine comprises a kinematic Stirling engine and a reciprocating compressor in one single block.A double acting cylinder houses a piston that plays both the roles of the power piston of the Stirling engine and of the compressor's piston.The maximum performances of this machine are determined through numerical modelling.For a certain compression ratio of the compressor,a functioning regime for which the work produced by the Stirling engine is equal to the absolute value of the work consumed by the compressor can be found.
