Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3530922A1] A Stirling engine 1 includes: a piston 4 that reciprocates in a cylinder 2; a heat exchanger 7 that promotes contraction and expansion of an operating fluid in the cylinder 2; and a power takeout device 11 that converts a reciprocation driving force by the piston 4 to a rotative force. The power takeout device 11 is disposed in a crank box 50 incorporated in a crankcase 13 so that a first buffer chamber 17b is defined outside the crank box 50 and a second buffer chamber 17c is defined inside the crank box 50 in the crankcase 13. The first and second buffer chambers 17b and 17c communicate with each other through a breather 32.
