How many hour do you think that a Stirling engine for CHP with an
electrical power of about 3 kW can work without maintenance? Do you
know where I can find Power output vs. efficiency curve diagrams?
Thanks to all and thanks to W.S. Hornbaker.

I have no idea of the MTBF for the commercially made units but would expect them to last well beyond the l0 year break even point.
An online search for "Micro gen CHP" and similar terms as well as should answer most of your questions.
