RECOVERY as Industrial HEAT RECOVERY as Electricity:
• •a Thermoelectric/Seebeck-Pelletier effect: Thermoelectric heat pump using n & p
type semi conductors, it uses temperature gap between one end to the other to
generate power. Used in Soviets since 1940s, in West for military/space after '60s,
western mainstream use of conventional models. Actually 5kw range generator
was claimed with operating efficiency of 10% for commercialization before yr2000
but retracted(Jade Mountain), Often on lower temperature range 50-600°C, some
are max 300°C level use.
• But much higher performance seems to exist by use of carbon nanotube or nano
structure etc though unclear if those super efficient models are openly marketed:
Evident Thermo, [acquired GMZ tech which claimed max 43% efficiency],
Komatsu/KELK’s 40% rating, Japanese peers Likely slightly lower(Yamaha,
Toshiba+), max 20% possible at 300°C range(AEInnova+), suspected similar level(O-
flexx+). Alkali-Metal Thermal-to-Electric Converter (AMTEC)by C-TEC Nano
Conversion at least 20% range, 15% range(Je Snyder+), Reverse Spin Hall - Spin
Seebeck Effect use: wrappable plastic like spin current generator at least 10times
conventional efficiency with much lower production cost(Nippon Denki+), -->>cont:
