EXPERIMENTAL PLANT WITH THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR. PROGRAM AND TECHNIQUE OF INVESTIGATION

摘要

A plant with a thermoelectric generator for modeling various modes of behavior of a marine energy plant is developed. Preheated air pumped into the plant is used as the hot heat-transfer agent and cooling water as the cold heat-transfer agent. Dependences of the thermal and electrical parameters of the thermoelectric generator on the parameters of the heat-transfer agents are obtained as a result of experimental studies. Thus, maximal heating of the cooling water reaches 5℃. The generated emf of the thermoelectric generator reaches 55 V and the power 7 W. The results of the studies may be used in the design of similar devices for the marine energy plants of modern vessels.
