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 and tested in the United States, as well as tested in England. This paper describes the unit’s design, operation, and testing history. The unit’s performance was satisfactory, and the demonstration indicated the merit of further development of self-powered heating.
