This paper surveys potential applications for Stirling engines in the power range from 0.5 to 5000 hp. Applications are grouped into a small number of classes (10), with the applications in each class having a high degree of commonality in performance and cost requirements. A review of conventional engines was then undertaken to determine the nature of the competition faced by a new engine system. In each application class the Stirling engine was compared to conventional engine systems, assuming that objectives of ongoing Stirling engine development programs are met. This ranking process indicated that Stirling engines showed potential for use in all application classes except very light duty applications (lawn mowers, etc.). However, this potential is contingent on demonstrating much greater operating life and reliability than has been demonstrated to data by developmental Stirling engine systems.
