A Thermoelectric Generator Replacing Radiator for Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles
Abstract: We have proposed and developed a low temperature
thermoelectric generator (TEG) using engine water coolant of light-duty
vehicles. Experimental results from test vehicle, of which engine size is about
2.0 liters, show that fabricated prototype Thermoelectric Generator generates
more than 75W for driving condition of 80 km/hour, and output power is about
28W during idle condition. The proposed TEG can replace conventional radiator
without additional water pumps or mechanical devices except for basic
components of legacy water cooling system of radiator.
