ABSTRACT:
A closed fluid working system for a Stirling engine is disclosed. The working system has a plurality of chambers subdivided by double-acting pistons operating therein; the subdivided chambers are respectively hot and cold and connected in series whereby a hot chamber is always in communication with a cold chamber of the next most adjacent cylinder. Parallel arranged gas flow paths are interposed in each communication between hot and cold chambers, and regenerator-cooler mechanisms are disposed in each of said parallel arranged paths. Control means are employed to permit flow through one or more of said parallel paths or flow of different levels through all of the paths, during different load conditions of the engine to permit the regenerator-cooling capacity to be tuned to the needs of the engine.
