Abstract

This project aimed to produce a conceptual design of Thermoelectric Power Generator (TEG) for automotive cooling system. TEG has played an important role to convert the waste heat into useful electrical power. In this research project, only the method to assemble mechanical part of the TEG is focused. The radiator from the cooling system of automotive is selected to integrate TEG because it can provide a consistent temperature. Previous research works were study to determine the optimum condition for new radiator design. The theoretical electrical power produce by the TEG is calculated using the Fourier‟s Law of Heat Conduction. Then the research work continues on finding solution through design a system to integrate TEG into the modified radiator. The modified radiator has totally 40 modules build on it which can produce 76.6 W of electrical power. The output power of the design TEG system can be improve when the TEG material‟s merit of figure increased.
