Abstract
Stirling engine is a device that produces mechanical energy using heat from any source of energy, without the need of combustion of any fuel inside the device. Renewable energy sources, which are mostly low-temperature energy sources, can be used to produce mechanical and electrical energy in Stirling engines. The paper presents an overview of the existing prototype Stirling engines designed for using of low-temperature energy sources, including renewable energy sources. Commercial devices for electric power generation offered for use in home, usually do not exceed 1 kW. Using the Schmidt model, the analyze of influence of temperature working fluid in the expansion space (heater) on the efficiency and the electric power generated in the Stirling engine of alpha type has been presented in the paper.
