In automobiles thermal energy is used at various energy scales. With regard to reduction of CO2 emissions, efficient generation of hot and cold temperatures and wise use of waste heat are of paramount importance for car manufacturers worldwide. Thermoelectrics could be a vital component in automobiles of the future. To evaluate the applicability of thermoelectric modules in automobiles, a Modelica model of a thermoelectric liquid-gas heat exchanger was developed for transient simulations. The model uses component models from the object-oriented Modelica library TIL. It was validated based on experimental data of a prototype heat exchanger and used to simulate transient and steady-state behavior. The use of the model within the energy management of an automobile is successfully shown for the air-conditioning system of a car.
