Using thermoelectric generator to increase the efficiency of the radiator
Kříž, Pavel ; Janák, Luděk (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with a design layout of the fan power supply that ensures the increase of the efficiency of the heating unit. For usage in the areas without electric power, the power supply is secured by thermoelectric generator. The system has to function on the basis of autonomous system which turns itself on only when necessary. In the introductory part of the paper there is a recherché of thermoelectric generators for general usage. Next it mentions the basic findings in from the field of DC/DC converters for low power applications. In this part attention is given to MPPT algorithm. Furthermore basic knowledge from the field of heat transmission together with its most used elements is described. Subsequently existing applications that increase the effectiveness of heating are mentioned. Their disadvantage however is that they depend on the external source of power supply. The practical part to a large extent covers the analysis of the suitability of the chosen thermoelectric module. For securing of the heat gradient of the generator there was a model created meeting the figures in the manual and there are several simulations in the MATLAB program. Furthermore several measurements of the thermoelectric module took place in order to secure realistic figures. Subsequently a DC/DC converter was chosen. Finally the testing was made on the real composition. In conclusion there is an overall evaluation including the real usage and the economical aspect of the project. The outcomes of the work enable to avoid common mistakes that are part of many specialized articles. The created system is to be used after the adjustment of the cooling to the required aim. At the same time it becomes very effective.

Thermoelectric Power Generation System
Brázdil, Marian ; Nerud, Pavel (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
In the last decade there is a rising interest in thermoelectric applications. Thermoelectric generators enabling the direct conversion of the heat into the electricity become attractive. This fact is caused by the demands of environmental operation and saving primary resources. Scientists intensively investigate and develop new materials and structures suitable for these applications. The efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion progressively increases. Unfortunately we have no available materials with sufficient thermoelectric properties which could provide cost-competitive price. Thermoelectric generators seem to be useable devices. For example, in case of the unused waste heat using of the thermoelectric generator can increase the overall effectiveness of the unit despite the low efficiency of the generator. This master thesis deals with the issue of the Peltier modules representing the main part of the thermoelectric generators. The physical principles and structures of the thermoelectric modules and the possibility of thermoelectric power production are described here. In the practical part of this thesis the design of the low power generator utilizing waste heat from biomass boiler Verner A 251.1 is proposed.

Thermoelectric generator for flue-gas duct of boiler to convert low-temperature waste heat to electricity
Třináctý, Jiří ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
With the dwindling supply of fossil fuels is increasing interest in the most efficient use of primary energy sources. In many of today's devices leaving a considerable part of the fuel energy wasted in the form of waste heat. As a partial solution suitable to demonstrate the application of thermoelectric generator, or devices that convert heat energy directly into electrical energy. The trend in recent years shows the growing interest in this technology and the development of new thermoelectric materials. In addition to the use of waste heat thermoelectric generators can be found in a number of other applications, primarily as a source of electricity in conditions where required minimal maintenance, reliability, reliability and durability. Text is divided into three parts: a theoretical part, the part dealing with the design and implementation of the generator, and a final evaluation. The theoretical part includes a description of the basic thermoelectric phenomena, thermoelectric materials and their properties, a description of the main components of thermoelectric generators and applications in which the thermoelectric conversion uses. Part of the design and implementation deals with the design of thermoelectric generator for chimney flue and comparison of the proposal with real measured values.

Possibilities of waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines
Křivák, Petr ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
Increasing demands for vehicular traffic to reduce the environmental impact and consumption of fossil fuels, led an effort to increase the efficiency of the combustion process and the car as a whole. One way to achieve this is to use the waste heat of the combustion process, especially waste heat of exhaust gases. This heat can be converted into electrical energy. Consumption of electricity in modern cars is increasing. The presented work deals with the possibilities, how to using waste heat of exhaustgases from internal combustion engine. Focused on application of producing electricity. The paper analyzed the current state of car traffic, and then provides an overview of possible technological solutions using waste heat of exhaust gases. The main part is devoted to thermoelectric generators, their construction and possible design. In conclusion is made the energy balance with use thermoelectric generator.
