  2. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    The displacer is a special-purpose piston, used in Beta and Gamma type Stirling engines, to move the working gas back and forth between the hot and cold heat exchangers. Depending on the type of engine design, the displacer may or may not be sealed to the cylinder; i.e., it may be a loose fit within the cylinder, allowing the working gas to ...

  3. Stirling cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_cycle

    The Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices. This includes the original Stirling engine that was invented, developed and patented in 1816 by Robert Stirling with help from his brother, an engineer .

  4. Cryocooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryocooler

    Fig.1 Schematic diagram of a Stirling cooler. The system has one piston at ambient temperature T a and one piston at low temperature T L. The basic type of Stirling-type cooler is depicted in Fig.1. It consists of (from left to right): a piston; a compression space and heat exchanger (all at ambient temperature T a) a regenerator; a heat exchanger

  5. Reciprocating engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

    Ray-traced image of a piston engine. There may be one or more pistons. Each piston is inside a cylinder, into which a gas is introduced, either already under pressure (e.g. steam engine), or heated inside the cylinder either by ignition of a fuel air mixture (internal combustion engine) or by contact with a hot heat exchanger in the cylinder (Stirling engine).

  6. External combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_combustion_engine

    An external combustion engine (EC engine) is a reciprocating heat engine where a working fluid, contained internally, is heated by combustion in an external source, through the engine wall or a heat exchanger. The fluid then, by expanding and acting on the mechanism of the engine, produces motion and usable work. [1]

  9. Single- and double-acting cylinders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-_and_double-acting...

    Typical horizontal steam engine with double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder is a cylinder in which the working fluid acts alternately on both sides of the piston. . In order to connect the piston in a double-acting cylinder to an external mechanism, such as a crank shaft, a hole must be provided in one end of the cylinder for the piston rod, and this is fitted with a gland or ...
