THERMOELECTRIC SYSTEM MODEL FOR HEAT UTILIZATION GENERATED BY ELECTRONICS

Abstract

Aim. Proposed is the thermoelectric system for utilizing the heat emitted by electronic equipment, including thermal battery with consumable working substance and thermoelectric power generator. It is considered the thermal and mathematical model.Methods.The model is built by solving the problem of calculation of melting processes and solidification of the working substance in the heat accumulator, characterization of a thermoelectric generator to convert the heat from electronics into electrical energy.Results. Given are the results of numerical experiment on the developed models, presented as graphs that evaluate the duration of complete melting and solidification of the working agent depending on the power electronics, as well as the intensity of heat exchange with the environment.Conclusion. Based on the efficiency generated by the temperature difference between the junctions of the thermoelectric power generator and its efficiency
