Summary:

The Mod II Stirling engine represents the culmination of activity in the Automotive Stirling Engine (ASE) development program. Incorporating technologies developed throughout the program, the Mod II is a kinematic, single-crankshaft, four-cycle Stirling V engine with an annular regenerator and cooler surrounding each double-acting piston. Its design is based on a unified, one-piece, cast-iron block incorporating crank-case, gas ducts, control lines, and waterjackets. The Mod II also embodies a new piston design, dependent balance scheme, and roller bearings in the crankshaft/connecting rod system.The Mod II engine is projected to meet ASE program goals of a 30% improvement in fuel consumption compared to the spark-ignition, internal combustion (IC) engine; 1985 emission standards established by the EPA; the ability to be packaged in a current automobile; and a cost competitive with current gasoline and diesel engines
