Since 1978, Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI) has been developing Stirling engine technology specifically for automotive applications under the Department of Energy and NASA-supported Automotive Stirling Engine (ASE) program. The first-generation MOD I engine and its upgraded version have both undergone substantial steady-state and transient testing. As part of the transient evaluation, a 1981 upgraded MOD I engine was installed in an American Motors Corporation (AMC) Spirit vehicle for chassis dynamometer testing. The EPA urban and highway fuel economy driving cycles, in addition to full throttle accelerations, were used as evaluation criteria. This discussion centers on the close agreement achieved between the analytical predictions and the actual results of this testing.
