 INTRODUCTION
• The Stirling-cycle
engine has been
patented in 1816 by
Robert Stirling, a
Scottish engineer.
 PRINCIPLE
• The key principle of Stirling
engine is that a fixed amount of
gas is sealed inside the engine.
• Stirling-cycle engine runs on the
expansion and contraction of a
gas forced between separate hot
and cold chambers.
• The resulting change in volume
is then used to drive a piston,
which can then be used to power
external devices.
CLASSIFICATION OF STIRLING
POLLUTION LESS ENGINE

• Two pistons type Stirling engine

• Displacer type Stirling engine

Two pistons type Stirling engine
• The two-piston type
Stirling engine uses
two power pistons.
Out of the two
pistons one is hot
piston, which is used
in hot chamber, and
the other one is a
cold piston used in
cold chamber.
 Displacer type Stirling engine
• The displacer type
Stirling engine uses a
power piston and a
displacer. The space
below a displacer piston
is always heated by a
heat source. The space
above the displacer
piston is cooled always
by cold air.
 WHY IT CAME INTO EXISTENCE?

• To develop engines with high power,

high torque, less vibration and most
essentially with no pollution is on since
the discovery and development of
engine.
HOW ITS WORKS
 ADVANTAGES
• There is no exhaust of gases as in case of
normal piston engines.
• Gas inside the engine never leaves the engine.
• The external heat source could be anything-
even heat from our hand.
• No combustion takes place inside cylinder of
engine. Hence there is no explosion.
 DISADVANTAGES
• High capital cost.
• Low Power to
weight ratio
– Impractical for
motion
• Production costs
– No large scale
construction
 COSTS
• No cost estimates were developed for this
engine because Stirling Cycle engines are in a
conceptual and experimental phase of
development for small power output (e.g., 200
kW). Cost predictions at this point would be
speculative.
 APPLICATIONS
• Stirling Thermal Motor
• This motor uses heater tubes, combustor, and
piston, to convert thermal energy into
mechanical work.
Four Cylinders Free-Piston Alpha Engine
• The four cylinders are
physically arranged with
a 90-degree phase
difference with each
piston connected to a
gas compressor. The gas
compressors are then
used to drive a gas
turbine expander .
 CONCLUSION
• Engine can work on any type of gas.
• The basic advantage of this engine is that the
amount of gas inside the chamber remains
fixed that is there is no exhaust and hence this
engine is pollution less.
• Hence this engine is highly preferred in
automobile sector finding its application in
submarines to hybrid cars.
