Low operating temperature integral thermo acoustic devices for solar cooling and waste heat recovery

Abstract: Utilizing low temperature differences from solar vacuum tube collectors or waste heat in the range 70-200 °C seems to be the most promising field of applications for thermo acoustic systems. At these reduced temperatures overall system performance is increasingly affected by the ratio between amplified (useful) power and acoustic power in the resonance circuitry. Well known is that this ratio can be improved by deploying multiple regenerator units (hex-reg-hex). However, in commonly used torus or coaxial bypas… Show more

“…Furthermore, the required operating temperature difference could be relatively small. For example, de Blok's [3] travelling-wave engine starts the acoustic oscillation at a temperature difference of only 65 K. Therefore the technology shows a lot of potential for utilizing solar power and waste heat. On the other hand, in the past decades, a variety of thermoacoustic engines, either standing-wave or travelling-wave thermoacoustic engines, have been designed and tested.…”

“…Backhaus and Swift [13] developed a somewhat different concept of a travelling wave engine, where a torus resonator was connected to a standing wave resonator, which defined the operating frequency, while de Blok [14] proposed a novel hybrid configuration with a travelling wave feedback waveguide. A more detailed review of various types of travelling wave engines has been recently given by Yu and Jaworski [15].…”
