Waste heat recovery through plate heat exchanger based thermoelectric generator system

Application of thermoelectric cooler as a power generator in waste heat recovery from a PEM fuel cell – An experimental study

“…Montecucco and Knox [17] proposed a computer model to accurately simulate the thermal and electrical dynamics of a real thermoelectric (TE) power generating system. Wang et al [18] used a combination of 16 TEG with a plate heat exchanger to produce electrical power from low grade waste heat. They reported 83.56% heat exchanger efficiency with 108.1 mV electrical voltage achievement.…”

Constructal entransy dissipation rate minimization for solid–gas reactors with heat and mass transfer in a disc-shaped body

“…(38) can consume waste heat to produce the useful reaction productions. Therefore, the constructal optimizations of the SGRs in this paper may provider some guidelines for the heat recovery and temperature improvement of the waste heat in iron and steel industry [61].…”

Experimental study on the energy harvesting of a cooktop via thermoelectric module assisted with phase change material

“…Lu et al indicated that the efficiency of a plate heat exchanger can be improved without additional pumping power by applying TE modules to the hot gas side. Related application was also proposed by Wang et al, who investigated a novel foam‐filled plate heat exchanger coupling with TE generator to recover low grade waste heat with the heat exchanger efficiency of 83.56%.…”
