Development of Eco-Friendly Thermoelectric Cooling and Emission Reduction with Heat Exchanger Variations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s transport sector has intensified exhaust emissions from motor vehicle engines, which are key contributors to air pollution and global warming. This study proposes an emission reduction strategy through the development of a thermoelectric system employing Peltier modules integrated with a single-chamber heat exchanger. An experimental method was applied to evaluate variations of heat exchangers using a single radiator configuration. Results show that at a 7 lpm flow rate, the spiral heat exchanger increased fuel temperature to 36,5°C, while the non-spiral type reached 35,5°C. Under maximum flow conditions, CO emissions were reduced by 8,65% and hydrocarbon emissions by 29,42%. The optimum cold-side temperature in TEC 1 occurred at 3 lpm, with the spiral exchanger achieving -8,6°C compared to -3,7°C for the non-spiral type. Although cooling performance declined, the elevated fuel temperature enhanced combustion efficiency, leading to a measurable reduction in emissions.
