- Abstract
Thermoelectric material can convert waste heat from the combustion gas into electrical energy. The objective of this work was to study the effect of fan power on the electrical output of a thermoelectric generator used in the combustion of wood charcoal. The side wall of the combustion stove has thermoelectric modules mounted on it. The cold side of the thermoelectric module is fitted with a water block with water flowing water. The temperature and power sensors are controlled using a microcontroller. The fan power was varied using 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 W to blow the outdoor air into the chamber. The results showed that an increased power fan increases the temperature difference of the TEG hot-cold sides, which results in the TEG’s power increase. The efficiency, however, decreases with an increase in fan power. The present work is expected to improve the design of the chamber for harvesting the energy released by charcoal combustion.
