Abstract

Thermoelectric module (TEM) systems proposed in this study adopts loop thermosyphon with TiO 2-nanofluid as working fluid. The present experimental study is focused on the optimum operating condition of the TE system proposed to improve energy output and to obtain stable power generation to be used in future hybrid vehicles. The results of the present study indicate a possibility to use such loop thermosyphon TEMs for future thermoelectric hybrid automotive vehicles. The system showed the optimum performance with acetone with 50% charged amount as the working fluid for the TLT. The system with the new working fluid, nanofluids, neither improved its performance nor its stability.
