Abstract

1339956 Hot gas engines S K NOOS 19 April 1971 [2 March 1970] 22976/71 Heading F1S [Also in Division F4] A hot gas engine, gas expansion refrigerator or heat pump comprises two cylindrical work chambers 12, 14 having volumes which are varied in substantially inverse relationship by a single reciprocating piston assembly 16 having portions 16a, 16b which drives or is driven by a shaft 22. Working gas is stored in a plenum chamber 46 for closed cycle operation or from ambient atmosphere for open cycle operation. The gas is passed into the primary work chamber 12 during a first period of time corresponding to a predetermined percentage e.g. 75% of the forward stroke of the piston assembly in which the volume of the chamber increases via a valve arrangement 54, a thermal regenerator 28 and a heat exchanger 30. The exchanger 30 supplies heat to the flow via a burner 36 in the case of a hot gas engine and acts a refrigerator load for a refrigerator. In the reverse stroke of the piston assembly, gas from the primary chamber flows through the exchanger 30, regenerator 28 and a valve 56 into the chamber 14 substantially when the volume is zero and when the volume is increasing i.e. the reverse stroke. In the subsequent forward stroke the gas in the chamber is recompressed to the pressure of the gas in the plenum 46 to which it passes via a valve 58 in a closed cycle operation or to exhaust to ambient atmosphere in an open cycle. The plenum is preferably cooled by ambient air to its original temperature for use in a new work cycle in a hot gas engine. Selection of the cross-sectional area ratios of the chambers 12, 14 and/or proper termination of the flow into the primary chamber enables the gas transferring between the chambers to be at a lower pressure than during injection into the primary chamber 12. In the embodiment of Fig. 4 the piston assembly has a central portion interconnecting the two portions 16a, 16b which move reciprocally parallel to a predetermined axis. In one form of the hot gas engine, Fig. 5, (not shown), a rotatably supported shaft has first and second pistons formed by vanes extending radially therefrom and the work chambers have a cylindrical housing thereabout and in a further engine, Fig. 6, (not shown), the work chambers are formed by separate cylinders of different cross-sectional areas, each having a separate piston mounted on a common shaft.
