Development and demonstration of a Stirling/Rankine heat activated heat pump

Program effort during the eighth 6 month period of phase 2 was concentrated on subsystem fabrication, testing of the combustor, compressor and controls, preparation for integrated engine compressor testing of the Proto 2 unit, and updating of system performance and cost analyses. In addition, follow up test facility upgrading work was completed and the field evaluation test site screening, selection and preliminary modification were carried out. A table summarizes the major system development accomplishments during the reporting period. Program progress on each subsystem, overall product design and all other related program ares are described.
