V monografii privedeny rezul'taty issledovaniya problemy ispol'zovaniya dvigateley Stirlinga v kachestve utilizatorov "brosovoy" energii, vydelyaemoy v okruzhayushchuyu sredu pri realizatsii mnogikh tekhnologicheskikh protsessov, rabote teploenergeticheskikh i teplogeneriruyushchikh ustanovok. Rassmotreny osobennosti dvigateley Stirlinga, prednaznachennykh dlya utilizatsii etoy energii, voprosy peredachi energii ot produktov sgoraniya, vybrasyvaemykh pri etom v atmosferu, vo vnutrenniy kontur utilizatsionnogo dvigatelya Stirlinga, protsessy v ego vnutrennem konture. Priveden primer kogeneratsionnoy ustanovki s utilizatsionnym dvigatelem Stirlinga, sozdannoy na baze teplovogo generatora i proveden eksergoanergeticheskiy analiz protsessov, proiskhodyashchikh v etoy kogeneratsionnoy sisteme. Monografiya prednaznachena dlya spetsialistov v oblasti teploenergetiki, a takzhe studentov i aspirantov sootvetstvuyushchikh spetsial'nostey.
