Description
Summary:Heat to electricity energy conversion is one of an alternative green technology used to benefit the waste heat energy dissipated to surrounding air. Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is one of the solutions to fully utilize the waste heat from the vehicle, power plant or any type of source that emit heat. TEG has a capability to convert heat to electricity energy without need a moving part or working fluid. Electricity energy generates when there is temperature different between two sides of TEG on Hot side and Cold side. The voltage generated is 2.4.80V with temperature on Hot side is 145.020°C and Cold side is 94.730°C. Using a sensory system monitoring, the actual performance of the TEG can be recorded live and continuously. In this research, the test result for heat to electricity conversion efficiency is 4.395% near to the 5% of maximum efficiency of HT-12710 TEG capability. Efficiency of 4.395% shows the efficiency of the whole system.
