摘要
We proposed and fabricated a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using the engine water coolant of passenger vehicles. The experimental results revealed that the maximum output power from the proposed thermoelectric generator was similar to 75 W, the calculated thermoelectric module efficiency of the TEG was similar to 2.1%, and the overall efficiency of electric power generation from the waste heat of the engine coolant was similar to 0.3% in the driving mode at 80 km/h. The conventional radiator can thus be replaced by the proposed TEG without additional devices or redesign of the engine water cooling system of the existing radiator.
