Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A Stirling engine includes: the thermosiphon that accommodates the heating medium receiving heat from a heat source; and an engine unit that has a body accommodating working gas. A heater that gives heat to the working gas by the heating medium is arranged in the body. The Stirling engine includes an engine controller that executes control for increasing an absorbed amount of thermal energy from the heating medium when at least one of the pressure and the temperature of the heating medium exceeds a predetermined value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A Stirling engine comprising: a thermosiphon that accommodates a heating medium receiving heat from a heat source; an engine unit that has a body accommodating working gas; a heater being arranged in the body, which gives the heat to the working gas by the heating medium; and an engine controller configured to control an increase in an absorbed amount of thermal energy from the heating medium when at least one of a pressure and a temperature of t…
