Abstract

The thermoelectric generator (TEG) has long been used to produce electrical energy where when a temperature difference occurs between two different semiconductor materials, this thermoelectric element will produce a voltage difference and flow an electric current. This principle is known as the 'Seebeck effect'. This research was conducted to determine the electrical energy potential of the TEG module as an alternative energy source by utilizing chimney heat from an incinerator. The test was carried out with a variation of 1, 2 and 3 m chimney height with treatment without compaction and compaction of waste. The test results show that with 12 TEG modules arranged in series electricity can produce an output voltage with a maximum temperature difference of each ΔV 3,31 Volt ; ΔT 15,0 °C (1 m), ΔV 3,92 Volt; ΔT 17,8 °C (2 m), ΔV 4,84 Volt ; ΔT 22,0 °C (3 m) while the compaction of each value ΔV 6,34 Volt ; ΔT 29,2 °C (1 m), ΔV 7,69 Volt ; ΔT 35,2 °C (2 m), ΔV 9,09 Volt ; ΔT 41,5 °C (3 m). The potential power that can be produced is as big as 3,22 W (1 m); 4,56 W (2 m); 6,88 W (3 m) while the compaction of waste is equal to each value 11,80 W (1 m); 17,36 W (2 m); 24,25 W (3 m). The addition of chimney height variation resulted in an increase in the hot side temperature (Th), cold side (Tc) and temperature difference (dT) so that heat energy and power energy increased.

Abstract

This study aims to design a control system with fuzzy logic on a system of cooling the storage of soft drinks with thermoelectric coolers. This storage can be carried in a vehicle using a DC electric power from a photovoltaic solar cell mounted on the roof of the car. Under certain conditions the energy source of cigarette lighter in a car can replace the solar cells. The test results show that a temperature of 15oC can be reached within 30 minutes with fuzzy control, while without fuzzy control the time needed in 63 minutes, 30 minutes longer.

Abstract

The experimental stages of converting solar energy into electrical energy in Photovoltaic and Thermoelectric Generator (PV-TEG) hybird ​​takes a long time. Modeling is one approach to find out the initial data before conducting experiments leading to minimize design errors, time and budget. A mathematical model is created to analyze the performance of a PV-TEG hybrid module. Modeling is performed as an electrical circuit equivalent to Kirchoff's Curent Law (KCL) by deriving several equations corresponding to the characteristics of each module. Type of PV is amorphous Silicon (a-Si), while TEG is Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3). The AM1.5D standard solar spectrum is splitted its wavelength spectrum using hot mirror, where the wavelengths of 400-690 nm are transmitted to PV and 690-1150 nm are reflected to TEG. All of PV-TEG hybrid parameters, for example intensity, temperature, and material property are obtained from the specification data of each module. As a results, the maximum total power is 0.0437 W with 5.1% its efficiency.

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the character of the TEG module as a source of electrical energy in utilizing heat in the chimney wall of an egg rack drying machine that uses rice husk as engine furnace fuel. The test is carried out by utilizing heat on 2 pieces of chimney (upper chimney and lower chimney) separated by a Heat Exchanger (HE) with a furnace blower speed of 2600 rpm and environmental blower speed of 2800 rpm with the amount of thermoelectric used as many as 44 units. The results show that the TEG module in the upper chimney obtained temperature difference (∆T), voltage difference (∆V) and power (P) respectively ∆T 38.75 ° C; ∆V 3.68 Volts; P 0.796 Watt and for the lower chimney respectively ∆T 73.25 ° C; ∆V 12.26 Volts; P 2.446 Watt.

Abstract

The subsidized gasoline conversion to LPG 3 kg in 2006 became the Indonesian Government’s policy to reduce reliance on fuel oil. The increasing LPG consumption and obstacle distribution have been the scarcity of the LPG in all regions of Indonesia. The gasoline fueled stove has overcome from the LPG scarcity. The purpose of this research was to compare the use of Gasoline types Pertalite and Pertamax with the use of LPG fuel. The research method was carried out by comparing the three types of fuel in the process of boiling 1 (one) litre of water using a gas stove, with several variations in pressure from 1.5 kPa to 2.5 kPa. The results showed that the highest fire temperature for Pertalite was 430 °C fuel, Pertamax 530 °C fuel and LPG 578 °C fuel. Fuel consumption for Pertalite 0,025 kg, Pertamax 0,027 kg and LPG 0,061 kg. The boiling time is 682 s for Pertalite, 669 s Pertamax and 503 s for LPG. The least compaction efficiency value occurs at 1.5 kPa pressure, for Pertalite 6,136 %, Pertamax 7,730 % and LPG 9,018 %. The higher the pressure, the greater the maturity efficiency, instead the fuel consumption and water boiling time are reduced. The cost used to boil water at Pertalite is Rp. 236,-; Pertamax Rp. 251,- and LPG is Rp. 309,-.

Abstract

This study was conducted to obtain the angle of elevation of solar panels (PV) to harvest photon light energy sources from LED bulbs that are often used in residential homes or buildings. The PV tilt angles tested are 0, 15, 30 and 90º by placing a constant bulb in its position. The results of the observations show that a slope of 0º produces the highest PV electrical power, although it is not significant compared to the other 3 slope angles. The decrease in PV output power occurs when the slope angle increases. Optimum power of 16.93 Watt is obtained by using a Hannochs bulb at a power of 15 Watt with an angle of elevation of 0º. Furthermore, the power decreased to 16.33, 12.92, and 12.91 Watts at angles of 15, 30 and 90º, respectively. Further research is still needed by increasing the variation of bulb power above 15 Watts to validate the position of the PV panels on the walls of the building according to light source.

Abstract

The refrigeration system used to meet the needs of human life can be in the form of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Due to its small volume, environmental friendliness and several other advantages, TEC can be widely applied such as in fish cooler box. In this study, the cooler box used had dimensions of 290mm x 205mm x 254mm and were given twelve stacked 3 TEC modules with varied DC voltages. The purpose of this study is to determine the voltage that can provide the best TEC performance. This performance will be indicated by the Coefficient of Performance (COP) value of each voltage variation. The experimental results show that the best performance of the TEC is at 42 Volts. The lowest temperature achieved during the experiment was 7.74℃ on the cold-side.
