Thermoelectric Generator with Passive Biphasic Thermosyphon Heat Exchanger for Waste Heat Recovery: Design and Experimentation

Research on Engine Exhaust Energy Recovery by a Heat Pipe Exchanger with a Semiconductor Thermoelectric Generator

A heat pipe exchanger was adopted to recover the engine exhaust energy and its internal gas pressure. Velocity and temperature distribution were obtained with the computational fluid dynamics software called ‘FLUENT’. Based on the simulation results, the structure of the exchanger was improved, and its working performance was verified by experiments. The experiments showed that the pressure los...
