Abstract

Thermoelectric is a type of energy that created as resulting from power combination heat and electricity based on the necessary factors. Thermoelectric generator is a component that can change heat energy to electric power. Based on the study, thermoelectric generator is producing electrical energy from thermoelectric generator that has been installed on 1.3L 4G13 engine. This study is presenting production of electrical energy obtained by thermoelectric generator, based on Hi-Z thermoelectric module applied on 1.3L 4G13 engine. Before implementing the project, literature review is to study and identify the generator, module thermoelectric, heat transfer process, 1.3L 4G13 engine coolant system in vehicle and dynamometer. This study also required an analysis to choose the best location for thermoelectric generator before installing it on compartment of engine. Then, it is necessary to set up an experiment procedure which aiming to study and observe electrical energy generate which occur in thermoelectric generator when fitted in the 1.3L 4G13 engine. The production of electrical energy from this experiment was slightly less compared to theory result. Meanwhile, the engine efficiency would decrease and torque power and force become higher. This is because the coolant temperature that had emerged from thermoelectric generator.
