In a hydronic system with a constant supply of +60-degree F water on
one side and a constant supply of +140-degree F water on the other,
could a small Stirling engine theoretically produce a resulting
steady supply of +45-degree F to +50-degree F water over an extended
period of time in a small capacity closed loop system exposed to an
ambient temperature range of +75 degrees F to +105 degrees F?
If so, could any extant and commercially available Stirling be
used/experimented with in such an application?
If not, why not and might there be a possible fix in this scenario?
