Efficiency improvement of vehicles using temperature controlled exhaust thermoe...
Brito, F.P.; Pacheco, N.; Vieira, R.; Martins, Jorge; Martins, Luís Barreiros; Teixeira, J. Carlos; Gonçalves, L. M.; Oliveira, J.; Hall, M. J.One of the main obstacles for the use of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) in vehicles is the highly variable thermal loads typical of driving cycles. Under these conditions it will be virtually impossible for a conventional heat exchanger to avoid both thermal dilution under low thermal loads and TEG overheating under high thermal loads. The authors have been exploring an original heat exchanger concept able to...
Compact automotive thermoelectric generator with embedded heat pipes for therma...
Pacheco, N.; Brito, F.P.; Vieira, R.; Martins, Jorge; Barbosa, H.; Gonçalves, L. M.Currently, the automotive industry faces challenges to implement solutions that provide reductions in energy consumption, pollutants and greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Exhaust heat recovery employing Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) enables the direct conversion of heat into electric energy without moving parts and little to no maintenance. On-board electrical production is especially useful given the growing ...
