Abstract:
A thermoacoustic energy conversion system includes a closed circumferential encasing filled with a working fluid through which an acoustic wave can propagate in a propagation direction in use of the system, and at least one assembly of two heat exchangers with a regenerator sandwiched there-between arranged in said encasing. The at least one assembly is arranged substantially parallel to a local longitudinal axis of the encasing.

Claim (Index 5):
The thermoacoustic energy conversion system according to  claim 3 , wherein said encasing has an increased cross-sectional size in in the area of said assembly with respect to other parts of said encasing, wherein upstream of said assembly as seen in said propagation direction the cross-sectional size of the encasing gradually increases to said increased size, and wherein downstream of said assembly as seen in said propagation direction the cross-sectional size of the encasing gradually decreases to its size in said other parts, wherein at least one of said first blocking means and said second blocking means is/are arranged in the gradually increasing part, respectively decreasing part of said encasing, and wherein said at least one of said first blocking means and said second blocking means gradually rises, respectively decreases in such a manner that the cross-sectional through flow area of said encasing in said increasing part, respectively decreasing part remains substantially constant over the length of the at least one of said first and second blocking means and is substantially equal to a cross-sectional through flow area in said other parts of the encasing.
