Abstract
A residential-scale hydronic central heating unit was modified with the addition of a thermoelectric generating stage to demonstrate self-powered operation in a realistic environment. The unit was fabricated in the United States and tested in the US and in England. This paper describes the design, operation and testing history. The unit's performance was satisfactory, and the demonstration indicated the merit of further development of self-powered heating.
