A review of car waste heat recovery systems utilising thermoelectric generators and heat pipes

TL;DR: The use of heat pipes can potentially reduce the thermal resistance and pressure losses in the system as well as temperature regulation of the TEGs and increased design flexibility as discussed by the authors, but heat pipes do have limitations such as maximum rates of heat transfer and temperature limits.

A comprehensive review of Thermoelectric Generators: Technologies and common applications

TL;DR: In-depth analysis of TEGs is presented, starting by an extensive description of their working principle, types, used materials, figure of merit, improvement techniques including different thermoelectric materials arrangement (conventional, segmented and cascaded), and used technologies and substrates types (silicon, ceramics and polymers).

A combined thermodynamic cycle used for waste heat recovery of internal combustion engine

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined thermodynamic cycle for waste heat recovery of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is proposed, which consists of two cycles: the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for recovering the waste heat of lubricant and high-temperature exhaust gas, and the Kalina cycle, for recovering waste heat from low-time temperature cooling water.

TEG On-Vehicle Performance and Model Validation and What It Means for Further TEG Development

TL;DR: A high-temperature thermoelectric generator (TEG) was recently integrated into two passenger vehicles: a BMW X6 and a Lincoln MKT as mentioned in this paper, which was the culmination of a recently completed Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored TE waste heat recovery program for vehicles (award #DE-FC26-04NT42279).
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review on Thermoelectric Generators: Progress and Applications

TL;DR: The thermoelectric effect is a physical phenomenon consisting of the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy (Seebeck effect) or inversely from electrical current into heat (Peltier effect) without moving mechanical parts as discussed by the authors.

Testing of an automobile exhaust thermoelectric generator in a light truck

TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype automobile exhaust thermoelectric generator (AETEG) installed in a 1999 GMC Sierra pick-up truck was tested in a dynamometer-equipped wind tunnel at Delphi Corporation's Harrison Thermal Systems Division in Lockport, New York.
