Energy plays a very vital role in the sustenance and development of life or as such any possible thing. With the enormous development of the mankind need of the energy is also increasing day by day but the resources which were conventionally used for that are limited and the renewable technology is still in the developmental stage. So it is the need of the hour to utilize the best from the resources which we have and conserve the energy. One such step would be utilizing the waste heat from the engine exhaust. In the I. C. engines, which dominate most of the transportation sector, about 2/3rd of total energy of fuel is wasted as exhaust heat. The high exhaust gas temperature also leads to the problem of emissions and global warming so utilizing the waste heat would be beneficial in various ways. The Thermoelectric generator could be effectively used to recover the waste heat from the exhaust. As the TEG is in the developmental stage its efficiency is not that high so the power output is limited. So an effort is made to utilize that small quantity by using a thermoelectric cooler TEC as a portable automobile cooler. This will serve two purposes – recovery of waste heat and making the rides more comfortable with a portable cooler which runs independent of the engine load.
