Waste Heat Recovery from Exhaust Gases through I C Engine Using Thermoelectric Generator

Ajay Chandravanshi, Dr. J. G. Suryawanshi

Abstract :

The temperature of pipe surface of exhaust gases flowing through exhaust gas pipe is very high and it is around 200 oC to 300 oC so a heat exchanger is made, which conducts heat from exhaust pipe to thermoelectric modules, one surface of these modules is in contact with the surface of hot side heat exchanger and other is in contact with the surface of cold side heat exchanger and thus potential difference is created and power is produced due to seebeck effect. Two setups are prepared to produce power on small scale from waste heat of exhaust flue gases of I C Engine using four Seebeck Thermoelectric Module connecting in series. In second setup heater is used as source of waste heat. Mathematical modelling and C programming of the generator is also done for both the setups.
