FIELD: power industry.
SUBSTANCE: generation method of mechanical (electric) power is performed at thermal power plants (TPP), boiler houses, at transport power plants, and plants for combustion of associated petroleum gas and domestic waste. Stirling engine uses for its operation either heat secondary power resources or heat of geothermal sources or solar energy or heat of burning fuel flame. Heat is supplied directly to heater, cylinders with working medium by means of taps or from gas duct or from steam pipeline or from water pipeline, by means of heat pipes (HP), heat accumulators (HA). Spiral shape of tubes of heater, regenerator and cooler of Stirling engine is used. Cooling machine is used for cooling Stirling engine with liquid air. At TPP and boiler houses there used is Stirling engine and generator, which directly receive heat of the burning fuel flame from common combustion chamber for their operation. Stirling engine is used as the main one at automobile, railroad, aviation, and water transport.
EFFECT: increasing economy of generation method of mechanical energy.
