Abstract: Thermoelectric energy (TE) harvesting is a promising solution for waste heat recovery onboard ocean-going ships. Recent studies have been conducted on thermoelectric generator (TEG) optimization considering heat exchangers and thermoelectric module (TEM) improvements. However, they mainly concern separate optimization of system components. A test rig has been designed and built to test the performance of the TEG on engine operating points representative of marine application and quantify the impact of the clamping pressure on efficiency.
