ABSTRACT:
A mechanical drive system permits a single electric motor to drive at least three rotary components necessary to the cold starting of a Stirling engine. These components comprise a rotary preheater, an air atominzng pump for facilitaing proper injection of fuel particle size, and a combustion air blower, all necessary to heat the working gas of a Stirling engine prior to engine cranking. The drive system employs a shaft, offset from the engine driven element but drivingly connected thereto. A clutch is interposed between the offset shaft and the rotary starting components, as well as between the electric motor drive and said components. Thus, drive is alternatively transmitted, first from said motor to the component to permit engine temperature increase, cranking is then established, and then drive is transmitted from the engine driven element to said components.
