Transient Thermoelectric Generator: An Active Load Story

Cooling of Motorcyclist Helmet with Thermoelectric Module

This paper deals with the development of cooling system for motorcycle helmet using thermoelectric technology. The system consists mainly of a heat sink and thermoelectric module. When electrical voltage is applied to the thermoelectric module, it will create a temperature difference across the thermoelectric module. This phenomenon is also known as Peltier effect, is being used to utilize elec...

Energy Payback Optimization of Thermoelectric Power Generator Systems

An analytic model for optimizing thermoelectric power generation system is developed and utilized for parametric studies. This model takes into account the external thermal resistances with hot and cold reservoirs. In addition, the spreading thermal resistance in the module substrates is considered to find the impact of designing small fraction of thermo elements per unit area. Previous studies...
