本研究將探討創新之平焰燃燒器結合 γ 型史特靈引擎，同時與小型發電系統進行整合，並以二甲醚作為主要之載體燃料，搭配不同比例之氨氣與空氣混合後進入燃燒器，燃料/空氣之當量比固定為 0.7，而系統之輸入功率與氨氣比例則為本研究之主要操作條件，並探討後續系統輸出之相關參數。測試結果表明，在輸入功率 2000W，氨氣比例 0%之條件下，輸出之電功率為 32.3W，熱電效率約為 1.61%，而在同樣氨氣比例下，將輸入功率降低至 1700W，輸出之電功率雖降低為 29W，但其熱電效率可提升至 1.7%，此外，藉由排放物測試之結果可發現，在相同輸入功率之情況下，平均而言，EICO、EICO2及 EINOx 皆隨著氨氣混合比例增加呈逐步降低之趨勢，而隨著輸入功率增加，EINOx 亦隨之上升，EICO 則逐漸下降；在燃燒效率方面，各種條件下之燃燒效率皆達 98.4%以上，整體而言，給予系統更高之輸入功率，其燃燒效率亦隨之提升，該系統之最高燃燒效率可達 99.13%。

In this study, the innovative flat-flame burner is combined with a γ-type Stirling engine and integrated with a samll-generation system. DME is used as the main carrier fuel, ammonia and air are mixed with different ratios to enter the burner, and the fuel/air equivalent ratio is fixed at 0.7, while the input power and ammonia ratio of the system are the main operating conditions in this study in order to explore the parameters of the output of the system in the subsequent study. The test results show that under the condition of 2000W input power and 0% ammonia ratio, the output power is 32.3W and the thermal to electric efficiency is about 1.61%, while under the same ammonia ratio, reducing the input power to 1700W, the output power is reduced to 29W, but the thermal to electric efficiency can be increased to 1.7%. In addition, through the emission test results, it can be found that under the same input power, on average, EICO, EICO2 and EINOx show a decreasing trend with the increase of ammonia mixing ratio, and with the increase of the input power, EINOx also rises, and EICO gradually decreases. In terms of combustion efficiency, the combustion efficiency under various conditions reaches more than 98.4%. Overall, given a higher input power to the system, its combustion efficiency also increases. The maximum combustion efficiency of the system can reach 99.13%.
