ABSTRACTThis paper reports an overview of the current state in our research program started in 1995 in collaboration with industries. This program has been aimed at making sure of the feasibility of a thermoelectric convertor for waste heat recovery of gasoline engine vehicle. Major results obtained include: (1) updated ZT-values for Pd,Pt-doped CoSb3 and partially Yb-filled skutterudite antimonides YbyM4Sb12 (M=Co, Fe, Ni; 0<y<1), (2) the performance of thermoelectric convertor using a segmented module of the skutterudites and Bi2Te3-based alloys, (3) a preliminary test of a thermoelectric stack which is the united device of thermoelectric modules and heat exchanger, when properly installed in a 2000cc class automobile.

Drain water at 35°C was directly discharged into sewer in most of barbershop with Electric water heater. Heat utilization efficiency is lower, and energy grade match between input and output is not appropriate in most of barbershops. Two waste heat recovery systems were presented according to the heat utilization characteristics of barbershops and principle of cascade utilization of energy. One was the waste heat recovery system by water-to-water heat exchanger (WHR-HE), and the other is the waste heat recovery system by water-to-water heat exchanger and high-temperature heat pump (WHR-CHEHP). The two heat recovery systems were analyzed by the first and second Laws of thermodynamic. The analyzed results show that the energy consumption can be reduced about 75% for HR-HE, and about 98% for WHR-CHEHP. Both WHR-HE and WHR-CHEHP are with better energy-saving effect and economic benefits.
