Yamaha Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation Power & Mobility: Demonstration of Significant CO2 Reduction by Thermoelectric Generator Installed in a Vehicle
In this demonstration test TEG unit was installed in a test vehicle, and the generated electrical power from TEG unit and CO2 emissions were measured on a chassis dynamometer.
- In this demonstration test TEG unit was installed in a test vehicle, and the generated electrical power from TEG unit and CO2 emissions were measured on a chassis dynamometer.
- Following this result, the potential benefit of TEG unit was estimated to be 3.1% CO2 reduction (i.e.
- A system composed of TEG unit and DC/DC converter was installed in a test vehicle and this demonstration test was conducted on a chassis dynamometer.
- Most automotive manufacturers require novel technologies for further improvements in CO2 reduction of vehicles with an internal combustion engine.
