Abstract
The invention relates to a Membrane Stirling Engine. The inventors propose a Membrane Stirling Engine, with working gas, with a hot part and with a cold part, where the working gas of the Stirling engine is found both in its hot part as well as its cold part in the membrane skins, which have two ends, whereby they are closed on one end hermetically and on the other end they are open, where they lead into the hot or cold space of a regenerator chamber with their open end tightly sealed.
Claims31
A membrane Stirling engine, characterized in that:
- a working gas,
- a hot part and a cold part, and
- plurality of pistons for shifting the working gas from the hot part to the cold part, and from the cold part to the hot part,
- wherein the working gas of the Stirling engine both in the hot part of the Stirling engine as well as in the cold part of the Stirling engine is found in hot part thin-walled membrane skins and cold part thin-walled membrane skins arranged as a stack of membrane bags per piston, further;
- wherein each said stack of membrane bags has two ends respectively, wherein one of the two ends hermetically closed and other one of the two ends is open, and wherein, with other one of the open ends opens into the hot or cold room of a regenerator chamber.
