Abstract

The feasibility of a heating-only heat pump for residential applicants consisting of a free-piston Stirling engine driving a free-piston Stirling heat pump has been demonstrated. During the course of the work a system layout evolved which uses direct heat transfer to the Stirling heat pump. These factors result in a high efficiency system which will be competitively priced and highly reliable.
