Research of Stirling Engines at NMRI

National Maritime Research Institute has studied on the Stirling engines since 30 years ago. Main contents of the study is as follows.

(1) Effects of a friction and gas leakage at a piston ring,
(2) Effects of a pressure loss at heat exchangers,
(3) Dynamic simulation for the engine control,
(4) Underwater vehicle with the Stirling engine,
(5) Design method for a small Stirling engine,
(6) Development of unique heat exchangers.
