The MOD I Automotive Stirling Engine (ASE) has been under development for the past three years. During this period, over 7500 hr of engine operation have been accumulated both in test cells and vehicles. The Stirling MOD I engine has evolved from its original version into an upgraded version which is lighter in weight and utilizes nonstrategic materials. Engine development continues today with emphasis on performance improvement, lower specific weight to power ratio, and reduced costs. This paper describes a select few of the more important development areas of the ASE program. Recent activities in each area are also discussed briefly. The development areas include: rolling Element Drive System, piston Rod Main Seals Performance, heater Head Tube Material Selection, heater Head Manufacturing, and controls and auxiliaries implification. The technology pertinent to each of these areas can be applied toward advanced, more production oriented Stirling engine designs.
