Avaliação teórica e experimental do motor Stirling modelo solo 161 operando com diferentes combustíveis

Abstract

The aim of increase the electrical energy generation, together with the need of decreasing the pollution emission, has given force to the alternative sources of energy. The Stirling Engines have gotten forces again mainly because of its possibility to use some different kinds of fuel sources. This present work gives a presentation of the Stirling engines Technology, the possibilities and the state of the art, presenting important recently published papers. The Solo 161 Stirling engine is presented in detail, and valuated experimental and theoretical. In the experimental valuation some tests with different fuels (GLP and natural gas) were done and were possible to get the performance of the engine with these two kinds of fuel. It was evaluated the electric performance and CHP (Combined Heat and Power) In CHP analysis it was considered the heater of the water in the heat exchanger of the engine. In the theoretical valuation, was used the Schmidt Theory and the Prosa software. The comparison between test results and the ones obtained with the Schmidt model and the Prosa software were presented. It was too presented the Stirling engine model Viebach, with 500W of power, using waste as fuel, and all problems and some increasing were suggested.
