Abstract:
A thermoelectric gas-solid heat transfer numerical model was established between an air-cooling tube-fin intercooler’s intake and cooling air passage channel on vehicle turbocharged diesel engine. The outlet temperature of intake air, the output power of the thermoelectric components and the thermal conversion efficiency are considered as the research objectives. When load value is constant, the outlet temperature of intake air decreases with the number of thermocouples increases and there exist maximum values for output power and thermal conversion efficiency; when the number of thermocouples is constant, there is little effect on the outlet temperature of intake air with the load value increases. When the load was been optimal designed, set the load value throughout equals to the value of thermoelectric component total internal resistance, the values of the maximum output power was increased by 20.3% and the thermal conversion efficiency was increased from 1.78 to 3.48%.

Key words:  Air cooling tube-fin intercooler, gas-solid heat transfer, optimal design, thermoelectric, , ,
