Study on the Automobile Exhaust Thermoelectric Generator Test Bench

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to utilize the exhaust heat of internal combustion engine effectively and enhance its fuel economy, a test bench used in Automobile Exhaust Thermoelectric Generator (AETEG) is designed in this paper, the main controller, temperature monitoring unit and single voltage monitoring unit of the control system are elaborated. Finally, several initial experiment results are provided, it reveals that prolonging the exhaust’s transmission time and path appropriately can help raise the temperature of heat exchanger’s surface and enhance the output performance of AETEG, the method adopted in this paper is feasible and the AETEG test bench designed is practical.
