Four regenerator/cooler units are disposed in a circle which is concentric with the axis. A tube system which connects the cylinders to the regenerator/cooler units includes first and second rings, both of which are formed of sets of tubes, and both of which are concentric with the central axis. The tubes in the first ring are connected to upper hot spaces of the cylinders; and, the tubes in the other ring are connected to the regenerators and to one of the tubes in the first ring.
