“…When the frequency of rotation is less than 1,000 rpm the TEG efficiency is too low. However, work is currently underway to use, in TEM, electronic materials based on quantum wells [8]. Their application could improve efficiency by three or more times compared to the TEM made of bismuth telluride.…”

“…Certain modifications of the experimental and industrial designs of TEG for ship diesel engines were examined, respectively, in works [8,9]. These structures employ thermoelectric modules (TEM) based on Bi 2 Te 3 with the maximum upper temperature of 350-550 °С (depending on the module modification).…”

“…As a consequence, temperature mismatches appear and therefore problems of decreased power output arise [41]. Thus, although it is not normally taken into account, it is important to consider the clamping force in the assembly of thermoelectric generators [42,43]. In this sense, the present section analyzes different screw configurations and torques to demonstrate the importance of the clamping pressure and its distribution in the assembly of thermoelectric generators.…”

Generally, in the optimization of thermoelectric generators, only the heat exchangers or the thermoelectric modules themselves are taken into account. However, the assembly of the generator as a whole is of vital importance since a bad contact or a thermal bridge can waste the performance of an optimal generator. In this sense, the present chapter analyzes experimentally the use of different interface materials to reduce the thermal contact resistance between the modules and the heat exchangers, the influence of the pressure distribution in the assembly as well as the effect of different insulating materials in order to reduce the thermal bridge between the exchangers. Thus, it has been demonstrated that a good assembly requires the implementation of thermal interface materials to ensure the microscopic contact between the heat exchangers and the modules, besides a uniform clamping pressure. Nevertheless, since this is normally achieved with screws, they represent a source of thermal bridges in conjunction with the small distance between the exchangers. In order to reduce heat losses due to thermal bridges, which can represent up to one-third of the incoming heat, an increment of the distance between the exchangers and the use of an insulator is recommended.

Waste heat recovery is one way to reduce the use of fossil fuels, one of them is by using thermoelectric generator to convert waste heat into Thermoelectric Generator (TEGs) is a module that can convert heat into electrical power directly, using Seebeck effect and Peltier effect as its working principle, so it can increase efficiency of energy consumption by utilizing waste heat from an instrument that generate waste heat. The focus of this research is to find the output voltage of TEG by utilizing the temperature difference on the cold side and the heat side of the TEGs. The heat side of the module will be given heat from the heater as a simulation of the heat from hot water, and on the cold side heat pipes will be used to remove the heat on the cold side of TEGs. The result, output voltage that generated by using 4 module TEGs that arranged to Thermal Series - Series Circuit and using 2 heat pipes is 2.1-volt, and then it is possible to use for phone charger.
