Performance Examination and Design Optimization of Thermoelectric Sensor Configuration for Energy Harvesting From Air Conditioner Waste Heat
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: Due to energy crisis as well as environmental pollution issues, it is necessity for the establishment of alternatives energy harvester system in reducing the dependency of the primary resources such as oil and coal. The purpose of this research is to investigate working principle of the thermoelectric (TE) which able to harvest waste heat energy through a portable air conditioner and convert it to electrical energy. To optimise the TE performance, a number of TE configurations via experimental analysis are carried out which are significantly affecting the output power and the conversion efficiency of the TE system. From this research, it is concluded that proper design of the TE system is required to improve its energy conversion efficiency.
