Add-On Energy Harvesting of Diesel Exhaust Muffler Using Thermoelectric Generator

Trends Light fossil fuel vehicles are now turning to electricity. The electric vehicle transition begins with a hybrid car. Hybrid uses an internal combustion engine as generator. Controller systems, driving safety and entertain light growing so that they consume lot of electricity, Safe devices lifestyle support. An additional battery charging system for car is being developed by the automotive manufacturer at least can increase fulfilment electricity consumption needs.The utilize waste energy itself or even from outside system. In this research, author wants explore thermal harvesting in remaining exhaust gases. concept research develop Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) power producer. heat source 140kW diesel potential 523K stationary conditions, velocity 1407.05 m / s. This study demonstrates prototype TEG then compared Ansys simulation manual calculations first step further research. results obtained, Exhaust produce voltage 2.1 Volt 30 seconds data collection. cooling on HVAC cooler temperature 289K Velocity 0.8 significant difference.Keywords: Diesel Engine, Thermoelectric, system, Electricity.
