Heavier hydrocarbons removing method study for oilfield fuel gas into gas engine generator

温差发电技术是利用热电转换材料直接将热能转化为电能的发电技术,该技术是一种固态能量转换方式,能够直接将热能转化为电能,具有无运动部件、体积小、重量轻、移动方便和可靠性高等特点,是绿色环保的发电方式。

A thermoelectric generator converts heat directly into electricity. As heat moves from a gas burner through a thermoelectricmodule,it causes an electrical current to flow. The durable module in the thermoelectric generator provides a chemically stable environmentfor the thermoelectric material and ensures a long service life. A burner maintains a high temperature on the hot side while cooling fins keepsthe other side cool. The temperature difference across the thermopile which is the heart of the thermoelectric generator creates steady DCelectricity with no moving parts. This paper introduces the operating philosophy of thermoelectric generation and its applications on offshoreoil and gas platforms.
