Abstract
A system for generating electrical energy from thermal waste energy and removing thermal waste energy in an aircraft is provided. The system includes a thermal management circuit configured to channel a flow of coolant fluid that collects thermal waste energy from a thermal energy generating component. A heat exchanger coupled in fluid communication with the thermal management circuit and downstream from the thermal energy generating component. The heat exchanger is coupled in thermal contact to an exterior skin wall and adapted to transfer thermal energy from the flow of coolant fluid to the exterior skin wall. A thermoelectric generator is configured to convert heat flux between the flow of coolant fluid within the heat exchanger and atmosphere surrounding an outside surface of the exterior skin wall into electrical energy. The thermoelectric generator includes thermo-electric interface material extending between an inside surface of the exterior skin wall and the heat exchanger.
