Description

Stirling heat engine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of thermoacoustic equipment, in particular to a Stirling heat engine.
Background
Thermoacoustic systems are a technology for achieving energy conversion between thermal energy and sound waves. In order to achieve a desired conversion efficiency, critical components in a thermoacoustic system must achieve a specific sound field phase relationship, and therefore the phase modulator is an essential component in a thermoacoustic system. Two ends of the phase modulator are respectively connected with different thermo-acoustic system components, and different acoustic impedances are realized at two ends of the phase modulator. The general acoustic phase modulator mainly uses sound volume, sound inductance, resonance tube to modulate phase, while the mechanical phase modulator mainly uses the resonance system composed of spring piston to modulate phase. Mechanical phase modulators are more compact and have less flow losses than acoustic phase modulators.
The traditional free piston Stirling heat engine is mainly divided into an integral type and a separated type according to the structure. The integral piston Stirling heat engine is mainly divided into two structural forms. One form of construction is: a condenser rod passes through the compressor piston and a condenser support leaf spring is located in the compressor back cavity. The advantage of this structure is that the leaf spring has large radial dimension and small stress, and the disadvantage is that the flexible phase modulator rod is slender and is easy to lose efficiency due to long-time bearing of alternating load or radial force caused by assembly problem, so the phase modulator usually adopts radial gas bearing for auxiliary support. The other structure form is as follows: the compressor piston is completely independent of the phase modulator. The structure greatly reduces the length-diameter ratio of the phase modulator rod, thereby eliminating the defect that the phase modulator rod is easy to deform and destabilize, but the size of the plate spring is limited by the size of the phase modulator, and the difficulty of design, materials and processing technology is increased.
In stirling heat engine systems, the phase modulator is primarily used to adjust the phase of the sound field within the regenerator. Therefore, in order to meet the phasing requirements, the mass of the phase modulator and the axial stiffness of the spring supporting the phase modulator must meet certain matching relationships. For a high-power Stirling heat engine, the mass and the displacement of a phase modulator are gradually increased along with the improvement of power, however, the plate spring of the phase modulator of the traditional Stirling heat engine cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of large deformation and large rigidity, so that the development of the high-power Stirling heat engine is greatly restricted.
