COMBINED THERMOELECTRIC AND THERMOMAGNETIC GENERATOR |
摘要 |
<p>A thermoelectric device (100) including a combination of thermoelectric elements (60, 62) and thermomagnetic elements (65) may be applied to a pyrometallurgical processing structure (20) whose operation generates a magnetic field. The generation and existence of the magnetic field provides an increase in the electrical energy generated over operation when the field does not exist. The device enhances overall cell efficiency by recovery of electrical energy from lost diffuse heat, while simultaneously enhancing the efficiency of the heat recovery through the effects of existing magnetic fields and improving control of freeze layer formation, in an electrolytic cell for aluminium production.</p> |
