Summary:
In order to reduce CO2 emissions from industrial heating processes, evaluation of the amount of heat that can be ex-tracted from the heat source when constructing waste heat power generation systems is important; however, at pre-sent there is no established method to quantitatively measure the heat source characteristics and the amount of heat that can be extracted from a heat source. A new heat flow modulation method using semiconductor thermoelectric conversion devices generates a modulated heat flow wave that propagates as if it were a radio wave propagating in a waveguide. By processing and analyzing the reflected heat flow signal characteristics (frequency and phase) of this modulated heat flow wave using a combined hardware/software method, the amount of heat that can be extracted from the heat source (extractable heat quantity) can be calculated.
