Description

A novel liquid-piston steam engine, which can achieve high efficiency in the low-temperature region of T < 300°C as well as high reliability and low cost, has been developed. In this study, the steam engine achieved a thermal efficiency of 12.7% at heating and cooling temperatures of 270 and 90°C, respectively, when sintered metal was employed in the heating section. This efficiency value is approximately 40% that of the Carnot cycle. There are expectations for this liquid-piston steam engine to be used as a energy conversion device for waste heat recovery systems.
