Thermoelectric Power Generation System for Vehicles with Weakly Mixing Engine Waste Heat

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a weakly mixing power system that utilizes engine waste heat in vehicles for thermoelectric generation of electricity. The system consists of a motor with integrated starting/electricity generation capabilities and a vehicle storage battery. Additionally, the system incorporates an engine exhaust waste heat temperature difference electricity generation device and a control system. The engine exhaust waste heat temperature difference electricity generation device is connected to the vehicle storage battery. By harnessing the engine exhaust waste heat, this power system enables the generation of electricity, which can be utilized to power the vehicle's starting mechanism and various electric equipment such as electric apparatus and air conditioners. The implementation of this system offers multiple benefits, including reduced fuel loss, energy conservation, and environmental protection.
