Experimental and Numerical Study of a Microcogeneration Stirling Unit under On–Off Cycling Operation

Stirling units are a viable option for micro-cogeneration applications, but they operate often with multiple daily startups and shutdowns due to the variability of load profiles. This work focused on the experimental and numerical study of a small-size commercial Stirling unit when subjected to cycl...
