Effect of dynamic characteristics on the performance of a free-piston Stirling heat-driven cooler
A duplex-type free-piston Stirling heat-driven cooler (FPSHC) integrates a free-piston Stirling engine with a free-piston Stirling cooler. An FPSHC can simultaneously provide cooling capacity, heating capacity, and electrical power using external heat sources. In this study, a model is proposed to analyse the performance of FPSHCs. The model simulates the variations in the thermal properties of the working fluid within the FPSHC. The temperature distribution along the system’s wall boundary is constructed, and the volume variations in the working space are determined by solving the equations of motion for the displacers and piston. The model predicts performance parameters, including the phase angle and amplitude of the moving parts, operating frequency, cooling capacity, cooling temperature, and coefficient of performance (COP) of the FPSHC. Additionally, the effects of the natural frequency of the displacers and piston on the FPSHC’s performance are studied. The results show that the maximum COP can reach 0.1 as the natural frequency of the engine’s displacer is 25.52 Hz. To validate the proposed model, a prototype FPSHC is tested. Experimental results indicate that the FPSHC can achieve a cooling temperature of 259 K at a helium pressure of 4 bar and a heating temperature of 723 K. Furthermore, the cooling capacity, COP, and second-law efficiency of the FPSHC can reach 60 W, 0.107, and 25.8 %, respectively.
