Research on Integration Design of Automobile Waste Heat Thermoelectric Generation Exchanger and Engine Muffler

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thermoelectric generator (TEG) recovering waste heat from the exhaust has became a potential technical issue, due to its characters of pollution-free, no moving parts, reliability and high efficiency. There exist arrangement on the chassis and the exhaust backpressure of whole system will increase of these two problems, when integrating TEG in the car of TEG and the muffler is to integrate the thermoelectric module on the surface muffler, it can effectively reduce the size of TEG, also reduce its weight and structural complexity. It also reduced the backpressure of TEG, meanwhile solved the compatibility issues with other components of exhaust system. The structural integration laid the foundation to achieve the large-scale use of thermoelectric materials in the car.
