Abstract

Recently the research for utilization of waste heat produced from electric power plants, casting factories, heat treating factories or commercial building are being afforded by the need for energy saving. The objective of this study is to develop a thermoelectric generation system which converts unused energy from close-at-hand sources such as garbage incineration heat and industrial exhaust etc. into electricity. This paper presents a thermoelectric technology on a optimum system design method and efficiency and cost effective thermoelectric element on order to extract the maximum power output from energy conversion of waste energy. It is shown that the longitudinal stresses of module contacted with two point constrained AI tubes could be released more than those with a one-point constrained.
