Fluidyne Engine R&D. Homepage von Max. Fluidyne Stirling. Fluidyne engine 1. Back to homepageFluidyne engineFluidyne engine is a type of Stirling engine in which regular moving pistons have been replaced by moving water column.
Since water column always fits the cylinder, machining and fitting the piston to the cylinder is unnecessary. Various sources have reported efficiencies of some types of large Fluidyne engines to reach 5%. Fluidyne Stirling engine - ProtoSpace Wiki. From ProtoSpace Wiki Functioning of the engine How a fluidyne stirling engine would pump water The fluidyne stirling engine, a stirling engine with two liquid columns instead of solid pistons, is an alpha type stirling engine. Because of this the two pistons are acting both as the displacement piston, and as the working piston. When one piston moves upwards, the other moves downwards, providing the isochoric displacement of the air in the engine. Lineair Fluidyne Stirling engine - ProtoSpace Wiki. From ProtoSpace Wiki The lineair fluidyne stirling engine is a version of the U-tube fluidyne stirling engine where the natural frequency of the water tube wouldn't have a big influence on the functioning of the engine. This version has only one piston, connected to the hot chamber.
