Modern Uses of Stirling Engines
by Caleb Larson L Here's What You Need to Know: Quiet submarines are difficult to hunt. The Gotland-class of submarines are the pride of the Swedish Navy. They're really quiet—and are getting.

A Stirling engine is a heat engine that is operated by the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) between different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. [1] [2]
Submarines Resurface as Growth Business
Sweden is Developing an Advanced Submarine. It was the first operational submarine class in the world to use air-independent propulsion in the form of Stirling engines which use liquid oxygen.

1,490t Expand HMS Gotland first of class. The submarine is equipped with a Kollmorgen search-and-attack periscope. The submarines are fitted with four 21in and two 15.75in torpedo tubes. The 9SCS Mark 3 Combat Management System has three multifunction consoles. HMS Uppland.
The Stirling Engine Revivaler
This technology is unique to Swedish submarines" remarks Sebastian Lenander, Manager, Assembly and Testing Stirling, Saab Kockums. By heating and cooling the gas in a Stirling engine, the piston can move in a cylinder. The submarine can then use cold seawater for cooling and liquid oxygen and diesel to create the heating of the engine.

This Impressive Invention Made Sweden's Submarine Fleet One of the Best The National Interest
The air-independent Stirling engine has been used in Swedish submarines for 30 years. The basic principle is still the same, but much has happened since in this area: digital control system, new generator and recovery of the residual heat in the exhaust gases to produce hot water for comfort on board are some of the measures taken.

Fortunately, this did not occur in actual combat, but was simulated as part of a war game pitting a carrier task force including numerous antisubmarine escorts against HSMS Gotland, a small.

Sweden’s New Submarine is Probably the World’s Stealthiest The National Interest
The Näcken-class submarines, also known as the A14 type, were built for the Swedish Navy in the late 1970s. The boats were authorised in 1972 and the programme was completed in 1980 . All boats were built by Kockums in Karlskrona. The boats had a teardrop hull and diving depth was 150 metres (490 ft).
Swedish submarine with a Stirling engine came to the test
The Swedish Navy was the first to operate diesel vessels using an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system based on the Stirling engine. 1 Total Submarines in Fleet: 5 Ballistic Missile Submarines ( SSBNs ): 0 Nuclear-Powered attack submarines (SSNs): 0 Diesel-electric attack submarines ( SSKs ): 5 Air-independent propulsion ( AIP) enabled: 5/5

Meet the Impressive Swedish Invention That Turned Its Submarine Fleet Into the World's Finest
The exercises demonstrated that the Gotland was hard to locate due to the silent Stirling engines and the Swedish submarines were the subject of considerable international attention. The world's most modern submarine programme. The A26 submarine, also known as the Blekinge class submarine, currently in production at the shipyard in Karlskrona

The Gotland class features the noise-less Stirling engines that do not need air for their propulsion, allowing them to stay underwater for weeks when needed or switching to diesel power when.

HSwMS Gotland (Gtd) is a defense [2] submarine of the Swedish Navy. It was the first ship of the Gotland -class, which was the first operational submarine class in the world to use air-independent propulsion in the form of Stirling engines which use liquid oxygen and diesel as the propellant.
Modern Uses of Stirling Engines
The Södermanland-class submarine is equipped with Stirling AIP (air independent propulsion) by Kockums, originally launched in 1988.Visit our homepage: https.
The Stirling power module V4-275R, integrated with a liquid oxygen system, is currently built for submarines for the Royal Swedish Navy and for the offshore company Comex in France. Since mid 1985 the Stirling engine system for the Swedish Navy has been successfully tested in a full-scale submarine test section.

The Gotland-class submarines of the Swedish Navy are modern diesel-electric submarines, which were designed and built by the Kockums shipyard in Sweden. They are the first submarines in the world to feature a Stirling engine air-independent propulsion system, which extends their underwater endurance from a few days to weeks. This capability had previously only been available with nuclear.
