Abstract

This report covers the parameters applied to design a thermoelectric generator with cooling system to increase the temperature differences of the TEG module. Additionally, the implementation of some parameter to cooling system for generating higher power output as utilize the waste heat from cooking activites at night market. The use of cooking stove at night market is widespread in the Malaysia generally. It is important to improve the efficiency of these cooking activities. Mostly, usage of power generator and wet cell for power sources to provide electricity at night market. Adding thermoelectric generators increases the efficiency of the stove and can provide electricity that satisfies for application at night market. According to the previous study, there are lack of power output from the development of the TEG system with cooking activities at night market. The focus of this project to increase the efficiency of thermoelectric generator to produce higher power output which is sufficient to utilized at night market. Moreover, an enhanced cooking stove has been developed and prototype has been built according to proposed parameter. The objective of this project is to design a a cooling system for thermoelectric generator from waste heat, determine the effect of parameter influenced the performance of the thermoelectric generator and construct a new prototype for thermoelectric generator with cooling system to utilize at night market. The TEG system is construct particularly on cooling system according to the development of configuration in cooling system to increase temperature difference. The test has been done on the TEG with various parameter configuration of cooling system to analyse the performance of TEG. Based on the test, the power output obtained is sufficient from the best configuration with cooling system which is addition of split flow with 50% ratio coolant. From the test, the proposed cooling system in TEG reached almost higher limit of producing power approximately around 3W meanwhile the power has been boost up nearly 4.8W with attachment of step up module component in the circuit which can be utilize at night market to use as electrical source for appliances Lastly, the production of the thermoelectric generator is possible to provide sufficient power for the application.
