ROTARY TYPE STIRLING ENGINE FOR GREEN GROWTH

摘要

The present invention relates to a Stirling engine in which power is generated using a variation in pressure generated by continuously performing periodical heating and cooling operations when a heat transfer medium is stored in a sealed inner space. The Stirling engine generates power for rotating an output shaft (12) through the expansion and contraction of the heat transfer medium sealed and received in a space partitioned by a baffle (40) within an inner space (21) of a housing (20). Thus, when compared to the prior art, the Stirling engine of the present invention may be more easily manufactured. Also, the heat transfer medium for generating power may be easily managed, maintained, and repaired. In addition, since the heat circulation structure is simple, the Stirling engine of the present invention can achieve relatively higher thermal efficiency than those of the prior art.
