Abstract
An improved heat exchange assembly for a thermal regenerative machine such as a Stirling cycle engine or heat pump. It includes a sandwiched structure having a center regenerator layer between first and second thermal conductor layers. The regenerator has poor longitudinal thermal conductivity. The outside thermal conductors have good longitudinal heat conduction and sufficient heat storage capacity to supply or absorb the quantity of heat which is transferred between it and the gaseous working fluid of the machine during each cycle of machine operation.
