The current thermoelectric generators have a solid structure, do not produce noise, do not require maintenance and can be used for the recovery of waste heat or excess, at the same time they hold a very low conversion efficiency and they need an adequate cooling system.}, abstract={Nevertheless, they still hold a cost, which is still too high to make them attractive. Nonetheless, if the modules are applied to a heat source which otherwise would be wasted, the attractiveness of the solution certainly rises. In this study, a thermodynamic analysis of a stove-fireplace is presented, considering both combustion process and the flame - walls heat transfer of the. A design solution for a concentrator device to funnel the wasted heat from the fireplace to the thermo-electric modules is also presented.}, type={artykuł}, title={Thermodynamic assessment on the integration of thermo-electric modules in a wood fireplace}, keywords={stove-fireplaces, thermoelectric module, thermodynamic assessment, combustion of biomass, renewable sources, piec kominkowy, moduł termoelektryczny, ocena termodynamiczna, spalanie biomasy, źródła odnawialne}, }
