FIELD: heat power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used as power plant for special application, for instance, for special fortifications, submerged objects and mobile complexes. Heat accumulator is charged by energy supplied from heat source through closed gas circuit. Circulation of gas heat carrier, for instance, helium, in closed circuit is provided by compressor. Heat from heat accumulating substance is conveyed through walls of accumulator to walls of heater of Stirling engine, leading to gradual temperature rise and pressure rise in working circuit of engine and starting of engine. With engine operating, mechanical energy is converted into electric energy by electric generator. Cooler is used for cooling Stirling engine by cooling medium circulating through cooler.
EFFECT: improved reliability of power plant with Stirling engine, reduced cost of plant.
