Original abstract
The objective of the presented work is to test the possibility of using thermoelectric power to convert flue gas waste heat from a small-scale domestic pellet boiler, and to assess the influence of a thermoelectric generator on its function. A prototype of the generator, able to be connected to an existing device, was designed, constructed, and tested. The performance of the generator as well as the impact of the generator on the operation of the boiler was investigated under various operating conditions. The boiler gained auxiliary power and could become a combined heat and power unit allowing self-sufficient operation. The created unit represents an independent source of electricity with effective use of fuel.

Cílem předkládané práce je ověřit možnost využití termoelektrické přeměny odpadního tepla spalin malého kotle na pelety a posoudit vliv termoelektrického generátoru na chod kotle. Byl navržen a zkonstruován prototyp termoelektrického generátoru, který je možné připojit ke stávajícímu spalovacímu zařízení. Výkon generátoru stejně jako jeho vliv na chod kotle byl změřen za různých provozních podmínek. Dodatečně získaná elektrická energie by mohla pokrýt vlastní spotřebu a kotel se v budoucnu stát kogenerační jednotkou. Vzniklá jednotka je nezávislým zdrojem elektrické energie využívající efektivně energie paliva.
