THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR USING PELTIER MODULE

INTRODUCTION

The “thermoelectric generator using peltier module” is specially designed for


to save electricity. It helps to avoid load shading. At the place of heating area we can
place peltier module and which produce energy and also it can be stored into battery.
It works on seebeck effect thermoelectric power generation is based on a
phenomenon called “seebeck effect” discovered by Thomas seebeck in 1821. When a
temperature difference is established between the hot and cold junction of dissimilar
materials (metals or semiconductors) a voltages is generated, i.e., seebeck voltage.

THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR USING PELTIER MODULE

LITERATURE SURVEY

Thermoelectric generator has taken lots of attentions and large number of


applications were already developed. The introduction of thermoelectric cooling, as
renewed technology, has made an impact in the field of alternative refrigeration. The
common principle is the presence of coupled electrical and thermal currents, so that it
is possible to use the effects to generate power from a temperature differential.
The basic principle behind thermoelectric effect is Peltier effect is occurs
whenever electric current flows between two dissimilar conductors, depending on the
direction of the current flow, the junction of the two conductors well either absorb or
release heat
Measures of research construct were developed and tested in several stages. In
the first stage, every measure was borrowed from the existing literatures. In the
second stage, whole measures and constructs were submitted to a group of academics
to establish content validity. In the third stage, a pre-test had been conducts in a small
group of respondents. In the main survey, data collection was proceeded by using
structured questionnaires.

Description of circuit diagram:


When two ends of conductor are held at different temperatures electrons at the
hot junction at higher thermal velocities diffuse to the cold junction. Seeback
discovered that making work end of a metal bar hotter or colder than the other
produced and EMF between the two ends. He experimented with junctions (simple
mechanical connections) made between different conducting materials. He found that
if he created a temperature difference between two electrical connected junctions (e.g.
Heating one of the junction and cooling the other) the wire connecting the two
junction wound cause a compass needle to deflect .He thought that he had discovered
a way to transform thermal energy into magnetic field later it was show that a the
electron diffusion current produce magnetic field in the circuit a changing emf V

PCB MAKING PROCESS

MES’S MIT POLYTECHNIC, YEOLA Page 13


THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR USING PELTIER MODULE

PCB MAKING PROCESS:-


Single sided PCB:-
The single sided PCB is used where the cost has to keep at a minimum.
However, single sided PCB should be used wherever a particular circuit can be
accommodated on such boards. If there is more jumper wires on the single sided then
the use of the double sided PCB should be considered.

PCB Artwork:-

 To make PCB design on computer with the help of software’s.


 To take printout of this design on trace paper.

Screen printing method:-


For the production of large number of identical commercial PCB screen
printing methods is well suited. Screen printing is well known method a printing in
industry; it has the capability of printing on any surface like glass, plastics, metals etc.
Hence it is easily used on the fabrication of the artwork in the PCB designing.

Drilling:-
The drilling can be done with the help of an electronic drilling machine or a
manual one. We drilled the holes using the electronic drilling machines it was fast and
more accurate than the manual one. The drilling has to be done very carefully because
one error can be making the whole PCB useless.

Etching:-
Etching is a process by which the unnecessary copper clad can be chemically
washed out. A copper clad with screen printed artwork is ready for etching as the
point used in screen printing acts as mask for the etching and when treated with the
chemicals like ferric chloride the copper which is not covered by the point get washed
away while the artwork remains on the PCB.

direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. A semiconductor diode,
the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with
a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals. A vacuum tube diode has
two electrodes, palate (anode) and a heated cathode. Semiconductor diodes were the
first semiconductor electronic devices. Today, most diodes are made of silicon, but
other semiconductors such as selenium or germanium are sometimes used. It is also
used for rectifying purpose.

• Withstands impulse of up to 4,500 V.
• 400-mW and 360-mW coil power consumption types available.
• Pre-soldered terminals.
Description:-
These are high quality Single Pole - Double Throw (SPDT) sealed 12V Sugar
Cube relays. Use them to switch high voltage (240AC), and/or high current devices
(7A).This relay's coil is rated up to 14V, with a minimum switching voltage of 10V.
When current starts flowing through the control coil, the electromagnet starts
energizing and thus intensifies the magnetic field. Thus the upper contact arm starts to
be attracted to the lower fixed arm and thus closes the contacts causing a short circuit
for the power to the load. On the other hand, if the relay was already de-energized
when the contacts were closed, then the contact move oppositely and make an open
circuit.
As soon as the coil current is off, the movable armature will be returned by a
force back to its initial position. This force will be almost equal to half the strength of
the magnetic force. This force is mainly provided by two factors. They are the spring
and also gravity.

10) Resistor:-

Fig.8.j. shows diagram of Resistor.

Description:-
Resistor is a component that resists the flow of direct or alternating electric
current. Resistors can limit or divide the current, reduce the voltage, protect an
electric circuit, or provide large amounts of heat or light. An electric current is the
movement of charged particles called electrons from one region to another. Resistors
are usually placed in electric circuits. They are often color coded by three or four
color bands that indicate the specific value of resistance. Resistors obey ohm’s law,
which states that the current density is directly proportional to the electric field when
the temperature is constant.
Potentiometer is a device which has tendency to change the resistance as per
requirement. It has variable resistance. There is a one knob which is movable to
change the resistance. It works as a rheostat.

11) Peltier module

Fig.8.k. diagram of peltier module

MES’S MIT POLYTECHNIC, YEOLA Page 27


THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR USING PELTIER MODULE

Description

Thermoelectric module

A thermoelectric module is a circuit containing thermoelectric materials that


generate electricity from heat directly. A thermoelectric module consists of two
dissimilar thermoelectric materials joining in their ends: an n-type (negatively
charged); and a p-type (positively charged) semiconductors. A direct electric current
will flow in the circuit when there is a temperature difference between the two
materials. Generally, the current magnitude has a proportional relationship with the
temperature difference. (i.e., the more the temperature difference, the higher the
current.)
In application, thermoelectric modules in power generation work in very tough
mechanical and thermal conditions. Because they operate in very high temperature
gradient, the modules are subject to large thermally induced stresses and strains for
long periods of time. They also are subject to mechanical fatigue caused by large
number of thermal cycles.
Thus, the junctions and materials must be selected so that they survive these tough
mechanical and thermal conditions. Also, the module must be designed such that the
two thermoelectric materials are thermally in parallel, but electrically in series. The
efficiency of thermoelectric modules are greatly affected by its geometrical design.

14) Battery:-
A battery is a source of electrical energy. These are the devices which maintain an
electrical current by a transferring chemical energy into electrical energy. This
electrical current is maintained by an EMF inside the battery is equal to the potential
difference between its terminals where there is no current flow, because there is no
voltage drop. The essential difference between cell and battery is that the cell is a
single unit which converts chemical energy into electrical energy while battery is
combination of these cells.

charge is negative and negative if the original charge is positive. The electrical
size of the capacitor is its capacitance. Capacitors are limited in the amount of
electric charge they can absorb; they can conduct direct current for only
instances but function well as conductors in alternating current circuits. Fixed
capacity and variable capacity capacitors are used in conjunction with coils as
resonant circuits in radios and other electronic equipment. Capacitors are
produced in a wide variety of forms. Air, Mica, Ceramics, Paper, Oil, and
Vacuums are used as dielectrics depending on the purpose for which the
device is intended.
The relationship between the charge on a capacitor and the voltage across
the capacitor is linear with a constant, C, called the capacitance.

Peltier module Unit:-

Fig.9.a. construction diagram of Peltier module

A thermoelectric generator consists of two thermoelectric semiconductors (n-type and


p-type) subjected to a temperature difference, Thot − Tcold, and electrically connected in
series through conducting plates on the top and bottom. In the n-type semiconductor,
most charge carriers are negatively charged electrons, whereas in the other one most
of the carriers are positively charged holes. In a temperature gradient, electrons and
holes tend to accumulate on the cold side. An electric field E develops between the
cold side and the hot side of each material, which gives a voltage when integrated
over the length of each. The voltages of the n- and p-type semiconductors add up and
drive an electrical current through an electrical load, here an electrical resistor. The
product of the voltage and the current is the electrical power output of the generator.

Testing and troubleshooting is one of the main activities in project development. In
the testing each module is tested individually. If any problem arises during testing we
have to rectify it, which is called as troubleshooting.

Steps:-

1. We have tested all the PCB connection. In some PCB’S we found some point
were shorted. We have disconnected that point and check the continuity
according To circuit diagram and layouts some points found disconnected the
disconnected point were joined got continuity.
2. We faced the problem during making of the program for project.
3. Also we faced the problem of reconstructing our whole project due to our
small mistake of using velvet paper on plywood and then constructing the
equipment on it. By doing so it may have caused sparking if any problem
occurred.

Thus we had faced numbers of problem and we troubleshoot this problem with great
efforts and completed our project.
