The Mod I Stirling Engine, the first Stirling Engine designed specifically for automotive application, is under developmeht at Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI) as part of the Department of Energy-sponsored Automotive Stirling Engine (ASE) Program. The initial characterization of the first Mod I engine was completed in August 1981. Since that time, development efforts have added significant steady-state data to the design base, as well as accomplished initial engine transient evaluation through fuel economy testing. Relative to earlier P-40 Stirling engine-powered vehicles within the ASE program, fuel economy improvements of up to 50 % have been achieved with the Mod I engine. An advanced version of this engine, the Mod I-A, is currently in the design stage; analytical projections indicate substantial improvements in engine specific weight and fuel economy.
