Funding will support laboratory-scale research and development on a Stirling Air Conditioner that combines a Stirling Cycle with innovative heat transfer coupling to produce improvements in compact cooling. The proposed work is consistent with the goal of Building Energy Efficiency Through Innovative Thermodevices: the development of energy efficient cooling technologies and air conditioners for buildings, to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed work consists entirely of research, development, and demonstration work to be completed at lnfinia's commercially-zoned headquarters facility in Kennewick, Washington. The work performed will be limited to in-lab activities, including engineering design; small scale machining; and component integration, testing, fabrication, and analysis.
