3results about "Regenerators" patented technology

A system for energy conversion including a closed cycle engine having a piston body defining a hot side and a cold side and having a piston assembly movable within the piston bod. An electric machine is operatively coupled with the piston assembly and is operable to generate electrical power when the piston assembly is moved within the piston chamber. A control system includes one or more sensors operable to detect a piston movement characteristic of the piston assembly movable within the piston body. A controller is communicatively coupled with the one or more sensors and a controllable device. The controller is configured to determine a control command based at least in part on data received from the one or more sensors. The control command is selected based at least in part to cause the electric machine operatively coupled with the piston assembly to generate a preselected electrical power output.

A new thermal engine design and novel hot air inlet provide a high-efficiency hot-gas free-piston Stirling engine design.

Wire mesh (1) for a regenerator device (100), comprising at least one layer (2) of fabric made of warp wires (3) and weft wires (4), wherein the warp wires (3) and the weft wires (4) are interwoven and span at least one fabric surface (6), wherein the warp wires (3) extend along a first extension (7) of the fabric surface (6) and wherein the weft wires (4) extend along a second extension (8) of the fabric surface (6), characterized in that the fabric surface (6) has at least one interruption (9) which interrupts at least one weft wire (4) and / or at least one warp wire (3) along the first extension (7) and / or the second extension (8) of the fabric surface (6) at least once.
