Thermoelectric technology for IC engine waste energy harvesting:
liquid cooling approach

Thermoelectric generators are all solid-state devices that convert heat into electricity. It contains no moving parts and is completely silent. The total heat supplied to the engine in the form of fuel, approximately 30 to 40% is converted into useful mechanical work; whereas the remaining heat is e...
