Power Supply for Starting a Cold Internal Combustion Engine Using a Thermoelectric Generator
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Based on the analysis of the energy capabilities of the electric starter system for starting an internal combustion engine at low ambient temperatures, it was found that this process is significantly affected by the temperature of the battery electrolyte and the degree of its charge. A technical solution has been proposed to improve the start of a cold engine, which during operation allows maintaining the optimum temperature of the battery during storage of the car at low temperatures. The description and principle of operation of the proposed system are presented. Experimental studies of the efficiency of the developed power supply system for starting a cold internal combustion engine have been carried out. The object of experimental research is the power supply system for starting a cold internal combustion engine based on a phase transition heat accumulator and a thermoelectric generator.
