ABSTRACT:
A reversible thermal engine is provided which operates on the principles of the Stirling and Ericsson cycles. The engine comprises two variable volume compartments connected by passageway with a regenerator therein. Heat exchangers provide heating and cooling to the working gas during the cycle. Control means are provided to vary the volume of the gas transferring between compartments such that the volume variations of the gas are in the form of overlapping quadrilateral waveforms.
