Efficient Use of Energy Resources of the Generator of Hot Gases in the Thermal Preparation of Motor Vehicles

Abstract

Generators of hot gases (GHG) are used for thermal preparation of vehicles in cold climatic conditions. Their wide use is caused by the high thermal power and safety of application. The heat released in burning zone is used partly for heating air flow, partly for heating of GHG parts: guide nozzle and the false pallet. The generator of hot gases consumes from 70 to 150 W of the car battery power. In the process of thermal preparation, this leads to a decrease in the battery capacity, and as a result -the impossibility of starting the motor of the vehicle. The issue of reducing the energy consumption of the GHG, without changing its consumer qualities, becomes urgent.

Study of Thermoelectric Generator Operation in Exhaust System of an Internal Combustion Engine

“…Для этих целей в различных странах разрабатываются автомобильные термоэлектрические генераторы (АТЭГ), которые размещаются на выхлопной трубе автомобиля [2]. При этом часть тепла выхлопных газов отводится на вход АТЭГ, где преобразуется в полезную электрическую мощность с помощью эффекта Зеебека [3,4].…”
