The invention relates to the field of engineering, namely the engine, and can be used in the design of engines striated shaft, the cylinder is mounted on the crankcase, pistons accommodated in the cylinder, kinematically connected to the crankshaft and dividing the volume of the cylinder in the cavity of the extension and the cavity of the compression connected by highway with the heater, regenerator and cooler, radiator coolant, connected by pipeline through the impeller of the centrifugal pump to the cooler, a movable ferrule end-face sealing contact with the ring, covering the crankshaft, with the possibility of axial movement, a stationary ring with slip ring, mounted in the seal housing and the channels for supplying and discharging the coolant.

However, the execution engine can be used to cool and lubricate the contact ring, making the choice of material in their manufacture is limited, moreover, is limited, and the pressure of the working fluid in the inner loop.

The aim of the invention is to achieve and maintain high effective performance of the engine during the perfo - operation by reliable sealing of its internal cavities.

The objective is achieved by the fact that the well-known Stirling engine provided with a thin rubber sleeve on the shoulder on Klah, on the flat side of the impeller of the centrifugal pump has an impeller movable ferrule provided with a covering crankshaft taper shank, channels, inlet and outlet coolant made in the crankshaft and the seal housing, and on the surfaces of the base of the tapered shank and the crankshaft is made of radial grooves, and thin-walled rubber cuff partially covers the crankshaft and part of the shank of the movable holder and the shoulder is placed in the radial grooves of the latter, the impeller of a centrifugal pump is installed on the crankshaft and is connected with the impeller to the housing seals and channels for supplying and discharging the coolant are connected on one side to the impeller, and on the other to the suction cavity of the impeller of the pump.

The drawing shows a schematic diagram of the proposed Stirling engine.

The engine includes a crankcase 1 crankshaft 2, the cylinder 3 mounted on the crankcase, pistons 4 and 5, placed in the cylinder and separating the volume of the cavity compression 6 and the cavity of the extension 7, the line connecting the cavity with the heater 8, a regenerator 9 and the cooler 10, the heat sink 11, the connected truboprovodnie with the contact ring 15 and a tapered shank 16, the housing 17 of the seal, the contact ring 18 of the casing, thin rubber sleeve 19, the impeller 20 is performed on the flat side of the impeller of the centrifugal pump, the channels 21 for supplying and discharging a coolant, radial channels 22 and 23, made on the base of the shaft and the crankshaft, the intakes 24 coolant placed in the suction cavity 25 of the impeller of the pump.

The engine is as follows.

The volume of the crankcase 1 and the cylinder 3 is filled with the working fluid (hydrogen, helium, air and other ) under high pressure. When the movement of the pistons 4 and 5 are alternate concentration of the main mass of the working fluid in the heater 8 and the cavity of the extension 7, the cooler 10 and the cavity of the compression 6. The supply of heat to a working body is continuous through the wall of the heater 8. When the main propellant mass is concentrated in the heater and cavity expansion, it receives the maximum amount of heat, its temperature and pressure increase. The process of expansion with simultaneous perestukivaniem of the working fluid in the cavity of the compression 6, the accumulation of heat in the regenerator 9 and outlet warmth in the cooler 10. When the bulk of the working body sosr the maturity extension, the exhaust heat of the cooler 10 and a supply of heat in the regenerator 9 and the heater 8. The difference of the work of expansion occurring at high temperature working fluid, and compression occurring at low temperatures, allows useful work on the motor shaft. In this design the engine with crankcase set a certain wavering, as a result of movement of the piston 4, the pressure of the working fluid. When the pressure of the working fluid in the cavity of the compression 6 more than in the cavity of the crankcase is leaking through the seal of the piston 4 in the crankcase, while the reverse holds, the working fluid is pumped from the sump into the cavity of the compression 6 through outlet line unilateral action (not shown).

The power of the Stirling engine is directly proportional to the pressure of the working fluid and its loss from the internal cavities of the engine lead to loss of power. In mechanical contact seal major losses of the working fluid are in contact rings 15 and 18, therefore the purity of the processing of their contacting surfaces, the coefficient of friction, cooling and lubrication play a major role in the reliability of the seal. A supply of cooling and lubrication to the rings 15 and 18 is carried out by means of the intakes 24, nab is undertaken with the help of the impeller 20 of the impeller 13 of the pump creates negative pressure. Leakage of the working fluid in the clearance between the movable yoke and crank shaft 2 is prevented by means of thin-walled rubber cuff 19 and having a tapered shank 16 on the holder 14 allows it to move freely along the crankshaft 2 without damage cuff 19 and to withstand the last significant pressure of the working fluid.
