This project will advance the development of a novel technology for the harvesting and recirculation of exhaust gas energy -- the Pizza Oven Waste Energy Recovery (POWER) system. The objective of this proposal is to perform research that will advance the development of the novel annular thermal electric generator (TEG) module concept created in the first 2 years of this 4-year project. The key goals are to advance the fabrication process of the TEG modules to significantly increase the performance and durability of the module and develop an integrated heat exchange device in order to harvest waste energy efficiently. Created for natural gas pizza ovens in the short term, this modular device will be easily deployable in the future to a wide range of commercial furnaces or ovens operating on natural gas. This transformative system will capture lost energy and redeploy this energy as electricity and usable thermal energy. Benefits include the significant conservation of natural gas by recycling waste energy, a reduction in emissions that harm our environment, and lower operating costs achieved through natural gas and electrical consumption savings and energy resiliency in the event of a power outage. This project brings together an iconic Canadian restaurant chain, Pizza Pizza, advanced technology partners, and world-class university researchers to provide a truly "made-in-Canada" innovation that will deliver environmental and cost benefits to restaurants worldwide.

该项目将推动废气能量收集和再循环的新技术--比萨炉废能回收(电力)系统的开发。这项提议的目标是进行研究，以推动在这一为期4年的项目的头两年中创建的新型环形热发电机(TEG)模块概念的开发。主要目标是推进三甘醇组件的制造工艺，显著提高组件的性能和耐用性，并开发一种集成的热交换装置，以便有效地收集废能。 这种模块化设备是为短期内的天然气披萨炉而设计的，未来将很容易部署到使用天然气的各种商业炉子或烤箱中。这一变革性的系统将捕获损失的能量，并将这些能量重新配置为电能和可用热能。好处包括通过回收废弃能源显著节约天然气，减少对环境有害的排放，以及通过天然气和电力消耗节省以及在停电情况下的能源弹性实现更低的运营成本。这个项目汇集了加拿大标志性的餐厅连锁店Pizza Pizza、先进的技术合作伙伴和世界级的大学研究人员，提供真正的“加拿大制造”的创新，将为世界各地的餐厅带来环境和成本效益。
