Abstract

A generally toroidal counterflow heat exchanger is the main element of a combustor that operates at a micro scale. The combustor includes a central combustion region with openings to a reactant gas channel and an exhaust gas channel. The reactant channel and exhaust channels are coiled around each other in a spiral configuration that reduces heat loss. An electric current microgenerator is similar and also includes a thermoelectric active wall composed of n-type and p-type thermoelectric elements as part of a channel wall of the microcombustor. The thermoelectric active wall includes fins configured to increase the temperature differential across the thermoelectric elements relative to the temperature difference between the thermoelectric elements and the reactant and exhaust gases. A method of monolithically fabricating such microdevices by electrodepositing multiple layers of material is also provided.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to a device for generating electricity on a very small scale, and more particularly to a thermoelectric generator based on a countercurrent heat exchanger burner. Background It is well known that the use of combustion processes for power generation can obtain the numerous advantages of using batteries in comparison. These advantages are in terms of energy storage per unit mass and power generation per unit volume, even considering the conversion of thermal energy to electrical energy in the combustion process. The energy conversion efficiency is also excellent. For example, chlorofuel provides energy storage density of 40 to 50 million joules / kg, and even modern ion batteries can only provide 0.4 million joules / kg. Thus, even if the conversion efficiency from thermal energy to electrical energy is 5%, carbon-argon fuel can still provide 5 times higher energy storage density than batteries. The waste is mainly carbon dioxide and water. Compared to the waste of batteries, it is a toxic metal. In addition, the power generation rate per unit mass or volume of the combustion device is higher by an order of magnitude than other odd numbers using chemical reactions such as fuel cells. The anti-hydrogen fuel is relatively cheap, easy to obtain, and easy to store, and has a longer storage life than batteries. In addition, the combustion drive can use a variety of conventional hydrocarbon fuels without any pretreatment. Notwithstanding these advantages, the combustion process that converts fuel energy into electrical energy has not paid much attention to the practicality of powering small devices such as Peak Nest phones and other portable electronic devices that currently rely on batteries. Most of the small-scale combustion methods are to use large combustion engines to reduce the size of small engines.

The smallest dimension of combustible gas that can exist is estimated to be about 2 mm when the combustion chamber wall is at atmospheric pressure. Also, even if flame quenching does not occur, it is smaller Under the scale, the braking loss and friction loss become more and more important. The reason is that the combustion exotherm so the output of work and energy follows ?: Reduced, but heat loss and friction loss based with a surface area varying in proportion V- =

Overview A rough-faced countercurrent heat exchanger forms the basis of a burner that operates on a microscale. The micro-generator uses a thermoelectric activity consisting of a thermoelectric element as a channel for micro-combustion. The component of the heat exchanger is a convoluted surface arranged in parallel with a complex surface and a rotating shaft. There is a life-center combustion zone attached Openings for reaction gas channels and waste channels. The reactant channel and the waste channel are intertwined with each other and separated by the channel wall. Therefore, when the electrical operation is performed, one side of the channel in the three parts of the heat exchanger is connected to the reactant gas, and the other is in contact with the other side.

Description of the Invention (5) The exposed section of the figure is shown in Figure lb. The outline shape of the burner 100 is expressed in general terms and is called a complex area surface. A complex area surface commonly known as a pie cake is formally defined as an axis that lies on the same plane of the curve but does not intersect with the curve through a plane. Rotate the resulting surface. In this way, the cross section of the burner through parallel to the Korean plane is composed of two parts 10a and 10b, and the two parts are approximately mirror images of each other. Although the burner 100 is shown in the la and lb diagrams as a cylinder, it is symmetrical, in other words, at the top The view 'burner' 00 is clearly circular, but such symmetry and shape are not necessary. For example, the outer wall 12 of the burner 100 may be non-circular and may have a facet. In this way, the burner 1 can have a variety of closed shapes including a printed shape or a closed polygon such as a triangle, a quadrangle or a hexagon in a top view. The selection of the outer shape is determined based on manufacturing considerations. The burner is preferably made of electrodeposited metal, which will be described in detail later. The burner wall is therefore conductive. The burner 100 includes a middle zone 20 'which is typically used as a burner. The reactant gas enters the burner 100 through the reactant gas port 30 and flows through the spiral reactant channel 32 ′ into the combustion zone via the opening 34. The exhaust gas leaves the combustion zone 20 via the opening 36 and flows through the spiral exhaust passage 38 to Exhaust Chunkou 40. In the double spiral or so-called "Swiss roll" configuration of the burner 100, each internal channel wall, such as the channel wall 4 2 is in contact with one side of the cold reactant gas flowing in one direction and shown as direction 32a, and in contact with the other side In the reverse 38 & flowing hot exhaust gas. The spiral counter-current heat exchanger configuration of the burner 100 can effectively avoid heat loss to the surrounding atmosphere. The heat loss to the surrounding atmosphere severely limits the micro-combustion device with straight channels. Further to the shape of the complex area, there is no exposed channel end The end of the exposed channel may constitute a location of heat loss in other geometries.

The device optionally includes thermally insulating posts 14 to further insulate the device from the surrounding environment. In one embodiment, the 'micro-burner' is composed of two similar or identical-complex a: 2 05, each of which is similar to the cutting part shown in Fig. 丨 a. The two parts are assembled together and the selective dividing wall: no is between the two halves, as seen in the top view of the burner 200 in FIG. 2. The partition wall is mainly made of thermal and electrical insulation materials = using insulation to separate the two yoyo can be electrically independent without perfect alignment with each other = because the yoyo can keep each other warm. Therefore, the heat of the configuration of the burner 2000 The loss can be reduced to the lowest level, just like the heat loss of a complete 360-degree multi-area surface configuration. Used here. The outline multi-zone surface structure includes a structure with partial multi-zone surface cut off immediately adjacent to the partition wall, as shown in Figure 2 = When the burner includes a partition wall like the burner 200, the partition wall itself can be used to assist ignition. In a specific embodiment, the resistive elements 2 and 5 and the electrical leads 2 1 6 connected to the resistive elements are lost between the electrically insulating materials 2 1 8 forming a part of the partition wall 2 1, as shown in FIG. 3. As shown. Are there openings in the electrically insulating material? 〇 Exposing the combustion zone to the resistive element against the positive combustion zone 20, in another approach, the 'resistive element includes any bumps, spark plugs, bumps that extend into the rich area of the complex area and assist in the combustion process. ignition.

A two-degree resistance material, such as a recording system, is shown in a half-ring shape in section 22 as shown in Figure 4a. The entire top surface of the resistance material 22 contacts the conductive structure metal of the burner to provide a return path for the ignition current. The reverse side of the resistance material is coated with a thin layer of structural metal 2 and it contacts the conductor located on the partition wall: the conductor is brightly buckled and the current is turned on. ------ Equipment ---------- Order --------- Line (Please-" Read the notes on the back side and fill in this 1 >

Description of the invention (7) The entire semi-multi-zone surface combustion volume is heated to cause ignition. Commercially available argon fuel can be used in this micro-burner. At relatively low storage pressure and room temperature, the fuel is liquid, but gaseous at atmospheric pressure and room temperature is preferred so no gasification is required. 3 Useful carbon argon fuels include, but are not limited to, butyl butadiene, propane and f-acetylacetylene. The cyclic combustion design can make non-combustible reactant compounds on the outside of the burner, such as Ding, released by carbon dioxide. In typical applications, the 'micro-burner g' has been equipped with a micro-fuel tank, where It is known that, for example, the type of valve used in cigarette lighters is filled with large fuels. The oxidant for typical combustion is air, but other oxidants such as oxygen and oxygen-air compounds can also be used. Fuel for pressurized storage, Unpressurized air is entrained by the flow of gaseous fuel that escapes from the fuel tank, so the fuel storage pressure is sufficient to provide the required gas flow through the micro-burner. In this configuration, 'fuel and oxidant are typically two reactants When it reaches the combustion chamber, it is fully coupled by diffusion alone, and a specially designed structure such as a fuel injection nozzle can also be used to increase mixing.

The Γ-shaped heat sink includes a bottom 53b and a top 53t. The top is substantially perpendicular to the bottom. The bottom is inserted between the thermoelectric elements and the top is extended into one side of the reactant channel. Therefore, the reactants flow in the direction 3 2a. top. The top of the T-shaped heat sink 5 31 extends to the inside of the exhaust gas channel (right side of Fig. 5) 'so the exhaust gas flows through the top in the direction 3 8a.

Description of the Invention (9) Amendment No. 901000330 Date: 9 Maintaining the high temperature difference between the thermoelectric elements in August 〇 is very important for integrating thermoelectric devices and micro-combustion. Without intending to be bound by any theory of operation, the following considers the configuration considerations of thermoelectrically active walls with conduction as the main control of heat transfer. The problem of the cross-thermoelectric element 'quasi-holding * temperature difference △ τ arises from the thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric element. ΚΤΕ is typically about 1 watt / meter temperature scale (w / mK), which is much higher than that of reactants and exhaust gas. The thermal conductivity 'the latter is typically about 0.03 w / mK. The characteristics of micro-devices that are mainly used for conduction-controlled heat transfer and operate at low Reynolds values. The delta system is proportional to X / kA, where X is the conduction distance and eight is the area exposed to heat transfer. As a result, ^ χτΕ ^ ΚχςΑχΕ conduction length is represented by X * w ~ W and χτε ~ η; and the area exposed to heat transfer is represented by Aft »sheet ~ Η, Aw ~ Y, and ATE ~ W. Since the heat sink typically has a very high electrical conductivity, depending on the metal, it is about 20 to 100 W / mk, so and so △ Τα. Scatter: △ IVu.te: △ TtcXu / KuH'-O-.H / KteW Here, the conduction across the air gap between the heat sinks is negligible. Results △ Tuft * sheet / Δ ΤτΕ ~ χ "W / H2. Because the value of △ 丁" / 八 丁丁 石 is small, in other words, the temperature difference between the gas and the heating element is small compared to the temperature difference between the thermoelectric elements, so By increasing the element height 最 and reducing the element thickness w, the active wall design can be optimized. Thus, a large H: w value is more advantageous. In the micro-generator design in Figure 4a, the 'active wall 50' is vertically oriented.

Description of the invention (10) Manufacturing technology for micro-generators (detailed later). Layer-by-layer layering device = this point reduces the number of different materials that need to be deposited on each layer. The required result leads to the assumption that each layer is hydrolyzed using only electric heating materials on the vertical surface or multiple vertical walls. The relative positions of the η-type and p-type materials need to be adjusted so that each layer contains only one type of material = according to another feature of the present invention The thermoelectric material is a composite material. 1 Including 甴 particles with low conductivity (insulation) = in order to provide the lowest conductivity.

In a micro-generator composed of two halves of a double partition surface separated by an insulating partition wall, each half can be electrically independent. This configuration allows the sections to be wired in series or in parallel, depending on the intended use, to obtain the maximum current or voltage. In an alternative embodiment, the micro-generator is composed of a two-fold area and a half-area separated by a porous partition wall. Here, the electric heating element is not used. The part is used for combustion and includes another part of the electric heating element. Used for power generation. The section is an electric heating element arranged so that the hot exhaust gas products from the burner are directed across the generator section. In order to obtain a higher power level than a single micro-generator, multiple generators can be manufactured on a common substrate. The β substrate can be provided with conductive traces' which allows the generator array to be electrically connected in series or in parallel. Adjust the output current and voltage of the array. In some embodiments, the microdevice of the present invention is preferably manufactured from a multilayer thin-layer material-based device by using an electrochemical method and a pre-formed cover. The cover allows selective plating of structural materials (such as metal) and scale or protective materials. Protective materials are deposited in the middle space of the structural elements and subsequently removed. Manufacture of micro-generators from a multi-layered surface can help remove protective materials. For this microdevice, 'platinum is a useful electrodeposited structural metal, and copper is a useful protective material', which can be selectively removed from the platinum structure. The electrochemical baths for the deposition of white are manufactured by the Japan Electroplating Engineering Corporation and sold by Enthone-OMI under the trade name Platinat (Patina 100), which can advantageously form low-stress platinum as Structural metals.

Description of the invention (13) Yes A micro-generator with a single vertical active wall, and AIMs with multiple patterned elastomeric rings can be used when manufacturing multiple vertical active walls or one horizontal active wall with multiple pairs of thermoelectric elements. The cross-sectional view of Fig. 6d includes the part indicated by the cutting line S_S. Returning to the reference flow chart, the structural materials are deposited by A: [M ^ as shown in Figure 6e and deposited on various areas of the surface, except for the middle area protected by the elastomer 262. The protective materials la and 6f are included in Figure 6f. Construction of structural material 266. Finally, no cover is used for the heat-packing material, but the anode is used for deposition / valley 2 7: > on the 6th layer, and the product is formed on the entire structure of FIG. 6f to form the first sample of the fairy. According to the specific layer, It is determined that a 0-type or p.-type thermoelectric material is to be deposited, but a non-depositing force profile is preferred. A cup of silver outside the head is required. Planarization is then performed to remove excess structure and thermoelectric material to produce the layer in FIG. 6A, which includes protective material 256, structural material 266, and thermoelectric material 276. In addition, the deposition order of the two materials can be changed. For example, in the alternative solution, a standard cover is used to deposit protective material, and then the AIM cover is used to deposit the thermoelectric material. The AIM cover is patterned to cover the position occupied by the structural metal, and then the thermoelectric material is completely deposited. In order to manufacture a lighter including a semi-ring type electric group material 22 as shown in Fig. 4a, the foregoing processing and semiconductor manufacturing processes are combined. For example, some protective materials have been electrodeposited. After the number of layers, some protective materials are selectively etched away using a circular photoresist and the etched cavities are bounded. The resistive material is deposited in the etched cavity and is selectively planarized. The layer-by-layer electrodeposition process is then resumed. Composite thermoelectric materials can be used in all manufacturing processes described herein.
