Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2010 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The design of thermoelectric generator (TEG), forming the exhaust system of the vessel, is offered in the paper. Thermal calculation of the TEG for the ves-sel engine, Ro-8 6VDS48/42-AL2, with the capacity of 2 650 kW is given. Values of output parameters of the TEG are comparable with output values of the pa-rameters of existing analogues. The thermoelectric generator with the received parameters can be used on a vessel as an additional source of the direct current electric power. %K thermoelectric generator %K thermal calculation %K direct converting of energy. %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/file/sea_1_2010/16.pdf
