Abstract
A residential-scale hydronic central heating unit was modified with the addition of a thermoelectric generating stage to demonstrate self-powered operation in a realistic environment. The unit was fabricated in the United States and tested in the US and in England. This paper describes the design, operation and testing history. The unit´s performance was satisfactory, and the demonstration indicated the merit of further development of self-powered heating
