ABSTRACT:
The effectiveness of the lubrication system of a Stirling engine is maintained in a solar dish module for all directions of aiming of the dish by the journal mounting of the engine on the dish module with the center of gravity of the journaled mass eccentric to the journal axis along a particular radial. The engine has a sump which is disposed at a low point of the engine. The center of gravity of the journaled mass lies along a radial from the journal axis which intersects the sump. An additional counterweight is added to achieve the desired eccentricity.
