MARINE THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM AND SHIP

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a marine thermoelectric power generation system and a ship which are capable of adjusting the surface temperature of a high-temperature part of a thermoelectric conversion element to an appropriate temperature for keeping long-term stable power generating operation.SOLUTION: The marine thermoelectric power generation system comprises: an exhaust gas passage 20 through which exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine 10 of a ship 1 passes; a cooling water passage 30 through which cooling water for cooling the internal combustion engine 10 passes; thermoelectric power generation means 40 for generating power by receiving heat from the exhaust gas passage 20 at a high-temperature part and discharging the heat to the cooling water passage 30 at a low-temperature part; mixer means 50 for mixing the cooling water into the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas passage 20; and temperature control means 61 for controlling the temperature at the high-temperature part by adjusting the cooling water supplied by the mixer means 50.
