Specification

Description:The invention, as depicted in Figure 1, is a system designed to generate, store,
and monitor power, while managing temperature through a cooling system.
• Thermoelectric Generator (TEG):
The TEG is the primary power source in this setup. It converts heat directly into
electrical energy using the thermoelectric effect. When there’s a temperature difference across
the two sides of the thermoelectric module, it generates a voltage. The greater the temperature difference, the higher the voltage produced. This direct current (DC) electricity can then be
used to power or charge other components.
• Battery Module:
The battery module stores the DC electricity generated by the TEG for later use. This
allows for a continuous power supply even when the heat source (and thus the TEG output) is not active.The DC electricity from the TEG charges the battery. When the system needs power,
it can draw from the stored energy in the battery module.
• Cooling System:
Nanofluids exhibit superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional fluids. This allows them to absorb and dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for maintaining a
high temperature difference across the TEG. The presence of nanoparticles creates turbulence
at the microscopic level, enhancing the convective heat transfer coefficient. This ensures that
the cooling system can quickly remove heat from the TEG, preventing overheating and
maximizing the efficiency of power generation.
• Display:
It receives input from the thermocouple (for temperature readings) and possibly from the
TEG or battery (for voltage/current readings), and it shows this data visually for easy
monitoring. , Claims:1. A Power Generation Through Liquid- Cooled Battery Thermal Management System
comprise;
A Thermoelectric Generator;
A Thermocouple;
A Battery Module;
A Display;
A Flow Meter;
A Coolent Tank; and A Pump;
2. The Thermoelectric Generator as claimed in Claim 1 where a thermoelectric device
converts temperature differences directly into electrical energy for power generation.
3. The Thermocouple as claimed in Claim 1 where the thermocouple measures temperature differentials to monitor system efficiency and performance.
4. The Battery Module as claimed in Claim 1 where the energy produced by the pack of
Lithium Ion batteries (Rechargeable Battery) for the generation of power supply.
5. The Display as claimed in Claim 1 where a visual interface provides real-time data
on temperature, power output, and system status.6. The Flow Meter as claimed in Claim 1 where the flow meter tracks the coolant flow
rate to maintain optimal thermal management.
7. The Coolant Tank as claimed in Claim 1 where the coolant is stored and cycled to
regulate system temperature, ensuring stability.
8. The Pump as claimed in Claim 1 where the pump circulates coolant throughout the system to maintain consistent thermal conditions, enhancing generator efficiency.
