Original abstract

This paper treats of a numerical dynamic model of Stirling engine crank mechanism. The model is included in the complex model of combined heat and power unit. The unit is composed of the Stirling engine and of attached tree-phase synchronous generator. This generator should start the Stirling engine in motor mode as well. It is necessary combine the crank shaft dynamic model and the complete thermal model of Stirling engine for simula-tions and analyses of engine run. Our aim is creating of dynamics model which take into account the parameters of crank shaft, piston rods, pistons and of the attached generator. For unit working is also important the electro-mechanical behaviour of generator. That is why we experimentally verified the parameters of generator. The measured characteristics are use in complex model of heat and power unit. Moreover, it is also able to determine the torque at the Stirling engine shaft by the help of these electro-mechanical characteristics. These values can be use e. g. for determination of optimal engine working point or for unit control.
