Summary

A cooler is presented, with which electric energy can be produced. A thermoelectric generator is built between the hot and cold sides of the cooler. Through the Seebeck effect, part of the heat flow from the hot to the cold side is converted directly into direct current at the desired voltage. The operating principle of the thermoelectric cooling system is described with the example of a passenger car, and the thermodynamic calculation model is presented. The system can conceivably be used in any vehicle with an internal-conbustion motor, and is particularly well suited to ship motors.
