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.

Dry flue gas loss of fireplace stove reduction
Vodvárka, Petr ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the reduction of chimney heat loss of a fireplace stove with waste heat recovery. The results are the design of a functional heat exchanger and the calculation of the heat output. The heat exchanger must be designed for specific fireplace stove existing in a real living room and with realistic parameters. Technical documentation of the fireplace stove and a drawing of the heat exchanger are included in this thesis. Calculations of the reduction of chimney heat loss using the heat exchanger on a chimney are included in the conclusions. The advantages and disadvantages provided by using the heat exchanger are discussed.

Design of a combi cycle for heating plant
Rovný, Jan ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Milčák, Pavel (advisor)
Nowadays, European power production has to meet requirements than ever before. Environmentally oriented efforts end of coal mining and burning of coal, on which economies of a great number of countries depend. The main objective of these efforts is primarily the production of green energy from renewable energy sources and reduction of dependence on fossil fuels. However, the disadvantage of renewable sources (photovoltaics, wind farms) is their dependence on the weather conditions. As a result, there might be delays in supply of electricity, which must be compensated. One of the solutions is the launch of a combi cycle plant, which has the possibility of almost prompt start-up and electricity production. The combustion of gas and liquid fuels also ensures almost emission-free operation. In addition, thanks to the use of waste heat energy from the gas turbine, it is possible to operate the combi cycle unit with the character of a power plant and as a heating plant. The aim of this thesis is to search for combi cycles and balance calculation of the combi cycle heating plant under given conditions. In the last point, the approximate dimensions of the calculated heating plant are given.

Gray water heat exchangers
Devečka, Viktor ; Tuhovčák, Ján (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
In the present development of building industry and increasing demands for convenience and comfort of living, energy demands of buildings are also getting higher. After heating, the second largest costs are for the production of hot water. Use of hot water produces grey water with high residual thermal energy, which is drained into sewage. The heat recovery system of grey water solves this heat loss problem. This paper deals with the possibilities of using the heat of grey water. It is aimed mainly at the use of heat energy from grey water to reduce the cost of preparation of hot water. The paper analyzed the energy consumption in buildings. Subsequently, it focuses on the methods of using heat from grey water. It familiarizes with the methods of thermal energy recovery and describes drain water heat recovery system. Drain water heat recovery systems' producers from Czech and Slovak market are named. In conclusion, there are two modeling studies evaluating heat recovery system's efficiency.
