The Experimental Investigation of Heating Rate Variant Method to Produce Power Output Generated by Thermoelectric Generator SP1848-SA

Abstract

Thermoelectric Generators (TEG) are a type of energy conversion device that uses the Seebeck effect to directly transform heat energy into electrical energy. The source of heat that will be transformed using this technology is one of many elements that determine TEG performance. Through laboratory-scale experimental tests, this research will examine how the performance of TEG in producing electricity and the temperature distribution profile is affected by changing the heating rate. The hot surface of the TEG module is heated by the heating plate, which is thought of as a source of wasted heat produced by the internal combustion engine. There are three heating rates available: low heating rate (0.35 °C/min), middle heating rate (0.93 °C/min), and high heating rate (1.55 °C/min). To collect temperature data in this research using the Arduino microcontroller temperature data logger, temperature measurements were taken on the TEG module’s hot surface (Th), cold surface (Tc), and ambient temperature (Ta). Arduino data logger is used to measure the electrical output performance in the form of net power output (P) generated by the TEG. The outcomes demonstrate that the pace of heating on the hot surface of the TEG module will impact to the surface temperature differential and the efficiency of the TEG module in producing electricity. The efficiency of TEG in producing electricity in the form of an average net power output increases with an increased heating rate.

Monitoring of electricity generation from exhaust waste heat and wireless data recording from a mobile phone in real driving conditions of a vehicle

“…For this to happen, thermoelectric generators need to be cooled more effectively since the exhaust pipe temperature of the vehicle is constant. Ensuring stable conditions in energy production varies depending on the time taken for the temperature difference between the hot surface and cold surfaces of thermoelectric generators (Atmoko et al, 2022;Thanthong, 2022). Similarly, the heat transfer rate on the hot surface side of thermoelectric generators gains importance.…”

“…Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have been used commercially for some time, for example, as a power source while in space [1,2]. In addition to thermoelectricity (TE), the operation of thermoelectric converters requires hot and bloodless faucet insulation plates with low thermal resistance [3], which directly generates electrical energy from waste heat sources, displaying promising outcomes in contributing to decreasing greenhouse fuel emissions and supplying a cleaner form of electricity performance of a photovoltaicthermoelectric generator panel in combination [3][4][5].…”
