ABSTRACT:
A Stirling engine in which a working space is communicated with a working gas tank through a minimum cycle pressure line having an accelerating valve and a one-way valve and a maximum cycle pressure line having a decelerating valve and a one-way valve is provided with a starting apparatus including a bypass valve provided between the two pressure lines. When the engine is to be started, the bypass valve is opened and a starting motor is set into operation. The bypass valve is closed immediately after the Stirling engine starts, thus enabling the engine to quickly begin operating in a self-supporting manner.
