The design of an advanced Stirling engine is considered for potential use in Air Force mobile electric power generator sets. The prospects for acceptable reliability appears good due to new approaches to recognized Stirling problem areas; sealing, heater head and control. The present design appears suitable for a 30 kW set, but Air Force needs would be best suited by development of a 60 kW unit. Standardization would be facilitated by using the 60 kW Stirling engine and associated auxiliaries in a 30 kW set. Final design drawings have been completed in the 30 kW engine but construction and tests are required to establish that both design criteria for the engine and mobile power requirements are met. Originator-supplied keywords include: Heat pipe, and Combustor control.
