By using thermoelectric generators it is possible to develop independent electric energy source in burning and heating systems – in households and industrial heating. With this energy source it is possible to provide with electricity systems appliances, lightening and other consumers. Potential placements for generators are on furnace walls, on flue way walls, on flue pipe walls after furnace. Generators can improve efficiency of combustion, because there is amount of waste heat that leaves through flue pipe in burning process. There are no boundaries for combining elements in system as just the space for their placement. As more elements are linked in chain, as much electric energy is produced. This is one of methods to develop a cogeneration process in domestic boiler house or industrial heating, or burning systems. In research thermoelectric element current, voltage, power and efficiency are defined in different temperature differences.
