(Prior art) The Stirling engine, which is an external combustion engine, compresses the working gas sealed in the working space at a low temperature (isothermally) while externally cooling it with a cooler, and expands it at a high temperature (isothermally) while externally heating it with a heater. It also has a basic cycle of equal volume heating and cooling in between. Fuel such as gasoline or solar heat can be used to heat the heater, and the type of energy does not matter.

(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) An example in which the working space of a Stirling engine is communicated with a dead volume that does not involve work and the communication is controlled by a one-way valve and a valve whose opening can be adjusted is disclosed in US Pat. 3,81

In this example, the opening degree of the valve mentioned above is adjusted according to the minimum or maximum cycle pressure gas pressure communicating with the working space. Now, when the solar energy suddenly changes from low to high, since the amount of gas in the working space is constant, there is a limit to the amount of heat absorbed by the gas, causing the heater tube wall to abnormally rise in temperature and melting the heater. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention controls the working space of a Stirling engine through a flow control valve whose opening degree is adjusted depending on the amount of solar energy input to the heater. Basically, a means is used to connect the pressure vessel to the pressure vessel.

(Function) In the present invention, the working space is communicated with the pressure vessel via the flow rate control valve, and is adjusted to have an ineffective volume that does not participate in work. Therefore, when the heat ffQin input to the heater increases, the valve is closed and the flow rate of the working gas in the heater pipe is increased. Even if the amount of heat Qin increases, the gas flow rate within the heater also increases accordingly, so the working gas has a high endothermic ability and the temperature of the working gas can be kept constant despite the increase in the amount of heat Qin. .

The sensor 11 detects the total radiation heat 1iQin from the condenser 18 and sends it to a controller (not shown).
A set valve opening degree α corresponding to the measured amount of heat Qin is calculated, and the actual opening degree is set as the opening degree α of the valve 12.

Adjustment of the opening degree α of the valve 12 corresponds to adjustment of the amount of gas in the working space.

This operation will be explained in conjunction with FIG. At the start, the valve 12 is fully opened and the amount of heat Qin from the sun is transferred to the heater 6.
6'-, the amount of heat Qin input to the heater 6°6'- increases, and the valve 12 begins to close, increasing the amount of gas flowing into the working space. When the amount of heat Qin decreases, the valve 12 is opened to reduce the amount of gas in the working space.

Repeating such operations makes the temperature T of the working gas constant.
