Sandviç Tasarımı İçerisindeki Termoelektrik Jeneratörde Elekrtrik Enerjisinin Analizi

Abstract

Researchers and industry are seeking to manage energy better by increasing the efficiency of the energy system because of the increasing importance of energy in recent years. For this reason, a shift towards alternative energy sources to provide electricity has begun. As for alternative energy sources, interest in renewable energy sources is increasing day by day. Solar, wind and thermal sources are the most prominent renewable energy sources. Today we use of thermal sources in greenhouse, fish breeding, thermal facilities, city heating and electricity production. Nowadays, it is known that when we move thermal water from the source to the place to be used, it can be converted into electrical energy by utilizing the heat it emits around it. In this study, the effects of the type of the material and the placement of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) on the efficiency of two Thermoelectric Modules (TEM) were investigated by using thermal sources from renewable energy sources. Hot and cold water was passed through the sandwich blocks which were made from Copper, Aluminum and Brass materials, and the power produced in TEG was analyzed. As TEG, TEC1-12706 and TEC1-12710 materials were used. As a result of experimental studies, it is observed that the type of the material that conveys thermal water and the order of transmission of hot/cold water through sandwich blocks have an effect on the power produced by both TEC1-12706 and TEC1-12710
