Thermoelectric generation technology and design of thermoelectric generation system for industrial waste heat recovery

In view of the variety and huge quantity of industrial waste heat,a thermoelectric generation system from industrial waste heat was designed. Besides,the output property of single thermoelectric generator was tested under different temperature difference(ΔT). The result shows that the output power of a single thermoelectric generator can reach 155.85 W when ΔT =260 ℃,and the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric generation is about 4.389% when the hot side temperature is 260 ℃.
