Emissions measurements were made on a 40-kW (54-hp) Stirling engine burning five liquid fuels - unleaded gasoline, shale-derived marine diesel, gasohol (ET-3), ERBS, and commercial diesel. Emissions were measured with and without exhaust gas recirculation (ERG), and the results showed little difference in the level of NOx, CO, and HC emissions for all the fuels tested, particularly with EGR. This paper reviews the results of the test and correlations of the emissions data with external heat system (EHS) parameters. The effects of the fuel type on the performance of the EHS is also discussed.
