Abstract

See full text

A thermodynamic machine (1) of a Stirling type, the machine comprising an expansion chamber (5), a compression chamber (6), a regenerator (12) disposed between the expansion and compression chambers; a first heat exchanger (13) in communication with the expansion chamber and the regenerator; a second heat exchanger (14) in communication with the compression chamber and the regenerator; a first bypass conduit (15) connecting the expansion chamber with the regenerator bypassing the first heat exchanger; a second bypass conduit (16) connecting the compression chamber with the regenerator bypassing the second heat exchanger; at least a pair valves (18, 20, 22, 24), one valve (18, 20) provided between the expansion chamber and the first heat exchanger and/or between the regenerator and the first heat exchanger and/or in the first bypass conduit between the expansion chamber and the regenerator; and the other valve (22, 24) provided between the compression chamber and the second heat exchanger and/or between the regenerator and the second heat exchanger and/or in the second bypass conduit between the compression chamber and the regenerator; the valves being controllable.
