ABSTRACT
Generating machines of electricity, using combustion
engines and generate a great amount of residual thermal
energy from the exhaust gases. This residual thermal
energy can be converted into usable electricity using
thermoelectric generator (TEG), which are manufactured
cells with semiconductor materials employing the
Seebeck effect.
INTRODUCTION
Thermal energy that comes from exhaust gases from
electrical generators can be used to generate
electrical energy through thermoelectric generators –
TEG, improving their efficiency.
• SEEBECK EFFECT
SEEBECK EFFECT
When the junctions of two different metals are
maintained at different temperature, the emf is produced
in the circuit. The Magnitude of voltage generated is
proportional to temperature difference.
CONSTRUCTION
Thermoelectric materials
Thermoelectric pairs
TEGS WORKING
The simplest TEG consist of thermocouple of n
type and p type elements connected electrically in
series and thermally in parallel.
Heat is input from one side and rejected from
other side.
A voltage will be generated across
Thermocouple.
The magnitude of the voltage is proportional to
the temperature gradient.
ADVANTAGES
Waste Heat – Electricity.
Available 24 hours a day.
No noise and low maintenance.
High Reliability.
Stabilize temperature of devices.
Increase operation life under all environments.
Performance output highly scalable.
Space requirement is only 1/20th of a solar cell.
Maximum energy recovery.
DISADVANTAGES
Low efficiency.
High cost.

PROPOSED MODEL
Heat from electric generator exhaust gases is
transmitted by conduction to the hot side of the
TEG
Hexagon format stainless steel apparatus.
