Development of Thermoelectric Self-Powered Heating Equipment

摘要: In this work, a self-powered residential heating system was developed using thermoelectric generation technology. A full-size prototype designed, constructed, and tested, in which Bi2Te3-based modules were incorporated into gas-fired boiler. Up to 161 W of electricity is generated by the modules. This sufficient power all electrical components equipment including pump, fan, blower, valves, control panel. way, can operate entirely on fuel combustion does not need externally electricity. The performance devices has been investigated integrated under various operating conditions. energy system’s advantages include simplicity, low noise, clean operation, maintenance. could provide consumer with reliability reduction electric consumption.
