Evaluation of Requirements for Militarization of 3-kW Free-Piston Stirling Engine Generator Set

Abstract

The design evaluation study assessed the capability of the free- piston Stirling engine (FPSE) to meet requirements for military mobile electric ground power. Operational requirement parameteers included physical, thermodynamic, audio, material, operational, and electrical. Test data and design calculations indicated that, with continued development, the FPSE can meet or exceed all of the military requirements for 3 kW silent tactical generators operating on military logistic fuels.
