연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A control valve for a double acting type Stirling engine of the type having two or more piston assemblies reciprocating in bores with each of the piston assemblies separating isolated volumes of a working gas. The control valve provides the functions of a check valve which allows an internally defined volume within the engine to be held at a low pressure near the minimum pressure of the cycle volumes. The valve may further be actuated to unload the engine to provide low starting torque and to unload the engine in case of an engine or load malfunction. The control valve further provides a controlled leakage path for working fluid flowing between the cycle volumes and the minimum pressure volume which acts as part of a pressure balancing system for the Stirling engine which maintains the volume or mass of a working fluid in a balanced condition between the cycle volumes.

1. A control valve for a double acting type Stirling cycle engine of the type having two or more piston assemblies reciprocating within cylinder bores, each of the piston assemblies separating isolated cycle volumes of a working gas contained within the engine, the cycle volumes undergoing cyclical pressure changes from a minimum cycle pressure to a maximum cycle pressure, the engine having a valve port for connection with the control valve which communicates with one of the cycle volumes and with a pressure volume, the control valve comprising: a valve body forming a first passageway for communicating with the cycle volume and a second passageway for communicating with the pressure volume,a plunger moveable between a closed position against a seat which seals against the seat and an open position displaced from the seat, wherein, in the closed position, flow between the first passageway and the second passageway is restricted and in the open position the flow between the passageways is enabled,a spring urging the plunger to the closed position such that the plunger moves to the open position when the pressure in the first passageway is less than the pressure in the second passageway by more than a predetermined pressure difference, andan actuator acting on the plunger to move the plunger to the open position against the urging force of the spring to thereby connect the passageways. 2. A control valve in accordance with claim 1 wherein the valve body includes a plug having a bore that forms the second passageway with an end of the plug forming the seat. 3. A control valve in accordance with claim 2 wherein the valve body first passageway surround the plug. 4. A control valve in accordance with claim 2 wherein the plug forms a third passageway which forms a restricted flow connection between the first and second passageways. 5. A control valve in accordance with claim 2 wherein the actuator is an electrical solenoid. 6. A control valve for a double acting type Stirling cycle engine of the type having two or more piston assemblies reciprocating within cylinder bores, each of the piston assemblies separating isolated cycle volumes of a working gas contained within the engine, the cycle volumes undergoing cyclical pressure changes from a minimum cycle pressure to a maximum cycle pressure, each of the piston assemblies connected with a connecting rod, and having a rod seal assembly for sealing the connecting rod, the engine having a valve port for receiving the control valve which communicates with the cycle volumes and with a pressure volume, the control valve comprising: a valve body forming a first passageway for communicating with the cycle volume,a valve plug having a hollow interior passage forming a second passageway for communicating with the pressure volume,a plunger moveable between a closed position against a seat which seals against the seat and an open position displaced from the seat, wherein, in the closed position, flow between the cycle volume and the pressure volume is restricted and in the open position the flow between the cycle volume and the first volume is enabled,a spring urging the plunger to the closed position such that the plunger moves to the open position when the pressure in the first passageway is less than the pressure in the second passageway by more than a predetermined pressure difference, andan actuator acting on the plunger to move the plunger to the open position against the urging force of the spring to thereby connect the passageways. 7. A control valve in accordance with claim 6 wherein an end of the plug forming the seat. 8. A control valve in accordance with claim 6 wherein the valve body first passageway surround the plug. 9. A control valve in accordance with claim 6 wherein the plug forms a third passageway which forms a restricted flow connection between the first and second passageways. 10. A control valve in accordance with claim 6 wherein the actuator is an electrical solenoid. 11. A double acting type Stirling cycle engine comprising: two or more piston assemblies reciprocating within cylinder bores, each of the piston assemblies separating isolated cycle volumes of a working gas contained within the engine, the cycle volumes undergoing cyclical pressure changes from a minimum cycle pressure to a maximum cycle pressure,the engine having block forming a valve port for each of the cycle volumes which each communicate with one of the cycle volumes and with a pressure volume, anda control valve disposed in each of the valve ports and forming a first passageway for communicating with the cycle volume and a second passageway for communicating with the pressure volume, the control valve further having a plunger moveable between a closed position against a seat which seals against the seat and an open position displaced from the seat, wherein, in the closed position, flow between the first passageway and the second passageway is restricted and in the open position the flow between the passageways is enabled, a spring urging the plunger to the closed position such that the plunger moves to the open position when the pressure in the first passageway is less than the pressure in the second passageway by more than a predetermined pressure difference, an actuator acting on the plunger to move the plunger to the open position against the urging force of the spring to thereby connect the passageways. 12. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein, in operation of the engine the control valve acts to cause the pressure in the engine pressure volume to have a pressure close to the minimum cycle pressure. 13. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein each of the control valve pressure volumes are connected with the pressure volume. 14. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein the control valve has a second passageway with provides a restricted flow path between the first and second passageways thereby allowing working gas to pass between the cycle volumes and the pressure volume. 15. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein when the control valve opens, the cycle volumes are connected with the pressure volume which reduces the magnitude of the difference between the minimum and maximum cycle pressures. 16. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein engine includes rod seal assemblies sealing connecting rods coupled with pistons, the rod seal assemblies having a housing with a hollow interior cavity which communicates with the pressure volume. 17. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 11 wherein the engine port communicating with the rod seal interior cavity. 18. A Stirling engine in accordance with claim 17 the rod seal internal cavity communicating with a seal port aligned with the valve port and the control valve having the plug with a head positioned in the seal port.
