Stirling engine performance testing apparatus
This is a very suitable teaching material for demonstrating thermal engineering, as it is a heat engine similar to the Carnot cycle that heats and cools gas within a cylinder and converts the thermal energy from its volume changes into work. The power generated by the engine is converted into electrical energy (W) using a motor generator or into mechanical energy (Nm) using a torque meter. Additionally, experiments on refrigeration cycles can be conducted using an external power source (sold separately). The included interface and software can display in real-time the cylinder pressure (kPa), rotational speed (rpm), cylinder volume (cm³), crank angle, and temperature data from both the heating and cooling sides of the displacer on a PC (sold separately), and can draw P-V diagrams to estimate the efficiency of the Stirling engine.
