Performance Analysis of Thermoelectric Based Automotive Waste Heat Recovery System with Nanofluid Coolant

Output performance of a thermoelectric-based automotive waste heat recovery system with a nanofluid coolant is analyzed in this study. Comparison between Cu-Ethylene glycol (Cu-EG) nanofluid coolant and ethylene glycol with water (EG-W) coolant under equal mass flow rate indicates that Cu-EG nanofluid as a coolant can effectively improve power output and thermoelectric conversion efficiency for...

Scalable Cost/Performance Analysis for Thermoelectric Waste Heat Recovery Systems

Fully Fresh Air Air-conditioning System Equipped with Double Heat Pipe Based Heat Recovery Technology

The using of double heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHX) in a conventional fully fresh air air-conditioning (AC) system was examined in the present study. The fabricated HPHXs were tested under the actual conditions and the measured data were used to study the performance of the existing AC system (System A) and AC system equipped with the double HPHX (System B) for a yearly operation through ...
