Thermoelectric Generators: The New Revolutions of Power Generators

Thermoelectric generator is a class of solid state active devices which works on the phenomenon of seebeck effect. The device is used to either convert the heat energy directly into electricity or vice versa means transform electrical energy into thermal energy for generating the heat or cool effect. The see beck effect or thermoelectric effect accomplish this task by a process of generating electric current by thermocouple and keeping the connection formed by two different metals at different temperatures. The efficiency goes up to 5 to 10 percentage.

Now a days may types of thermoelectric generator are available in market for various purposes like Radioisotope thermoelectric generators, household generators, industrial power generators and automotive thermoelectric generator. All these power generators are used for mainly used in applications like heat engines and sterling engines. The engines that produce more heat waste like combustion engine are mostly used for this type of applications. However, glaring problem which appears in such situations is output resistance and adverse thermal characteristics.

It seems that they work just like same as engine powered generators to produce electricity yet there is major difference. The ordinary engines give very annoying sound whereas the thermal generators form the electricity silently or do not produce noise while working. The main reason behind this is that electricity is produced by TE generators without the movement of any part instead of a cooling fan.

It is right to say that this is revolutionary engine temperature is cool down by the cooler when it flows from the burner to many thermo an electric device towards the direction of cooler. A voltage is created across the generator by the thermal flow of thermal energy.

The flow thermal power in TE generators creates a very high voltage across the thermocouples and causes very high voltage circulations in the primary ring due to high performance crystalline semiconductors.

The thermoelectric generators are highly reliable because of its strong construction. Hence, this is being used in many military and aerospace applications for several years. Hence the same is being used in many military and aerospace applications for several years. This is because of its main features; the power can be concentrated or consolidated to maintain an ample output to rum many applications at same time. The patented internal circuit, which converts the generated amperage into effective voltage, is the main feature of it. And hence most of industries are using it.

Ferrotec Nord is one of the leading manufacturing companies of thermoelectric products. They produced more than 250 designs of Peltier modules of various design, capacity, voltage, supply current and geometry to meet the demand of the thermoelectric module market and specific customer needs.  Also if the customer does not found the same according to his requirements, they are ready to design in accordance with their requirement of special geometry, shape, specifications or special use.
