| + | The Stirling engine itself must be placed outdoors in a 23 Celcius environment to provide the highest efficiency. | ||

| + | === Indoors === | ||
| + | Keeping the Stirling engine indoors to cool it down to maximum efficiency is debatable if not impossible, since the exposed working gas canister heats the room up, thus it has to be heavily cooled. The power gained from indoor cooling is significantly less than the possible power gained with a single indoor-cooled [[Kit (Gas Fuel Generator)|Gas Fuel Generator]]. | ||

| + | A single frame of 100kPa (330mol oxygen @ 20 celcius) will rise by 1.5 Celcius every second with 1500 Celcius gas, assuming that you are exporting from a furnace to the Stirling Engine. | ||
