<p>Waste heat is converted into electrical energy by a thermoelectric system (10, 54) which includes a heat recovery unit (12, 56) having heat collecting fins (38, 64) and heat pipes (40, 66) for the collection and transmission of waste heat to one side of a thermoelectric device (24, 68) situated outside the flow of waste heat. The other side of the thermoelectric device (24, 68) is either water or air cooled. The thermoelectric devices (24, 68) utilized include elements (26, 28) having a thermal resistance matched to the thermal resistance of the heat exchanger to provide maximum power output. <IMAGE></p> |
