Novel designs of thermoelectric generator for automotive waste heat recovery: A review

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Many worldwide scientists have concentrated on using waste heat recovery technology in automotive applications because of increasingly strict fuel consumption. The thermoelectric generator (TEG) has garnered significant interest in the automobile sector as a viable waste heat recovery solution over the past several decades. A short survey of thermoelectric materials and heat exchangers for TEG systems is initially presented in this paper. To overcome the heat exchanger's current shortcomings, some previous studies designed a variety of the heat exchanger geometry of the TEG system. They suggested concentric cylindrical TEG system utilizes an annular thermoelectric module instead of the traditional square-shaped one. It uses the heat pipe's benefits to improve radial heat transmission. A comparison of the water-inside and gas-inside arrangements indicated that the water-inside concentric cylindrical TEG system provided a greater power output in our simulations to test the performance of the proposed system.
