Abstract
External combustion engine, one of those is striling machine has advantage which can utilize all type of fuel, so that it is suitable for biomass utilization application. In this study an analysis of best design selection on striling machine was conducted, different from previous study, which is innovation of design on striling machine of alpha type by making corner phase to 180o, with the purpose to reduce gravitational force when the cylinder is compressed, because the corner phase currently used is (90o) has weakness which is the cylinder wall is perpendicular, so that the compressing process is against gravitational force. The design selection method is conducted by using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method and Pahl and Beitz method, which is started by collecting the design requirement and objective (DRO), formulating House of Quality, analysis and implementation, specification determination, level function determination, function morphology determination, and best variant determination.
