The Components are listed below,


 The thermoacoustic engine used in this
project Capture exhaust gas waste heat from
I.C. Engine.
 And converts waste heat to high amplitude
satanding waves within resonator.
 These waves power a thermoacoustic heat
pump.
 The exhaust gas from I.C. Engine is delivered
at the left side of the thermoacoustic engine.
 The heat exchanger is used to extract the
heat from the gas and deliver it to acoustic
engine
 Adjacent to the hot heat exchanger within the
thermoacoustic engine is the prime mover
“stack”
 Stack is the heat storage assembly that has
loose thermal coupling to the oscillating gas.
 Oscillting gas moves the heat from heat
exchanger to the stack..
 Adjacent to the stack is the water cooled
ambient heat exchanger that maintains the
temperature gradient across the stack.
 At the right hand end of the resonator tube
has a cold heat exchanger made up of brass,
which has 1.5mm thick fins & 150mm in
length
 This is the begining of heat pump section.
 The tube passes through the shell & fins are
soldered to brass outer shell, and are fitted
with electric cartridge heaters to impose a
head load on the heat-pump
 To the right of the cold heat exchanger is
heat pump stack.
 After the heat pump stack is the final heat
exchanger which is held at ambient
temperature and remove the remaining heat.
 This heat exchanger has 4 tube through
which cooling water passes.
 At last the heat generated in the exhaust gas
is removed
