The article is an analysis of the concepts of experimental units for non-engine research regenerators of engines with an external supply of heat. We have considered three experimental units for purging of the regenerator in open-loop, in closed-loop and for testing of the regenerator in a closed circuit with the reciprocating movement of the working fluid. In the latter case, the unit is equipped with a displacement, which is a double acting reciprocating compressor. Based on the analysis discussed concepts made to stand for investigation tests of regenerator of engine with an external supply of heat. Equipment stand temperature and pressure sensors, as well as electronic data collection and processing unit signals allows to determine the key features of the regenerator when tested in a closed circuit with the reciprocating movement of the working fluid.
