Thermal Electronics corp. designs Thermoelectric (TEG) power generators using the Seebeck effect for large and small applications. The above unit uses a sterno to produce 4-6 watts of power @ 12 VDC. Enough power to recharge a mobile phone, or operate a radio.
Newly designed thermoelectric power generators (TEG), will operate at an industry leading 7-8% efficiency. Our research goal is to increase that to 10% net efficiency.
First prototype elements were tested in February 2009 with some success. The new element design will eventually be manufactured on automated equipment, making them the first to be manufactured using full automation. The new elements are very high power in the 100 to 200 amp power range. The cost to produce these elements should be lower than present elements in large quantities with greater power output ability. Our goal is to supply industrial facilities and Car Manufactures with turn key Thermo Electric Power Generators (TEG) systems to reclaim valuable waste heat and convert it directly into electric power.
Below is a Thermoelectric Power Generator (TEG) unit that produces 20 watts of power at 14 volts.
We have 20 watt TEG's ( Thermoelectric Power Generator) custom made per application for purchase.

This is a water to water design we did for a client at a camping lodge. He's heating a glycol loop with a wood stove for the hot side and cooling the cold side with water from his lake.
Yield is ~25 watts 12 VDC @ Delta T of 100 Celsius.
Below is an extrusion which we carry in stock. The length are variable depending on design parameters. The surfaces are RA-63 ground flat . The width is 90 mm enough to accommodate up to 2 standard modules. Below that is a hypothetical example of a 200 watt design, based on hot and cold side specification.

Above would be an example of a water to water thermoelectric power generator . There are 4 groups of modules . Each group has eight separate modules for a total of 32 modules. Cold side water at 15 -20 C and hot side water was at 120 C -140 C potential output from this configuration using the
TEG2-07125HTSS would be in the range of 100 to 120 watts continuously.
Maximum temperature hot side 180-190 degrees C for our TEG2 modules
and 300C (recommended) for our TEG1 modules.
Our TEG generators will produce 22-30 watts @ 13-14 V with a 140 -150 Degree Delta T. The units are similar to the above which requires water on the cold side for cooling @ 20-25 degrees C. If water is not used, a bonded heat sink with a fan will allow for cooling, Note: Generating Power output of the TEG will be lower with the fan heat sink assembly as Delta T will be less.

We are in the process of designing off the self TEG power generation devices for purchase. Cost is always a factor. To make them more affordable we will be offering standard Thermo Electric Power TEG Generators in 20 watts @ 12-14VDC (max.). Either water or air cooled. These will use the
Seebeck Effect to produce power !

Adjacent is a 40-45 watt liquid to liquid TEG based on a Delta T of 110-120 C. Max hot side temperature is 190 C. Hot liquid is passed via the center sink and cold water is passed via both outside sinks.
Belleville washers are used to assemble the sinks and modules to the correct compression rate. Six screws are used with Belleville washers . Modules leads are left lose to allow for the client to hook up any power configuration required. Thermo electric power generation is a maintenance free way to generate power. As long as there is a heat source and a cold source power is continuously produced.
Unlike a solar panel rated at 100 watts which, my produce only 60% of the rated power output because of sunshine and weather impairment. A thermo electric power generator will produce it rated output as long as the delta T remains the same, 24 hr. a day 365 days a year using the Seebeck Effect.

 These are extrusion profiles we are attempting
to work with . Figure of merits are high giving us hope that we can automate our manufacturing process and bring costs down to a competitive level.
At present we have two types of TEG modules available:
TEG1: Series Thermoelectric modules
High temperature with maximum hot side temperature of 300C (572F) intermittent up to 320C (608F) and Max cold side temperature
of 190C (374F).

 Our new Powder Metallurgy process if successful, will increase efficiency 20-30% over standard modules, together with modules specifically designed for high density power generation we expect thermo electric modules that will be not only more efficient but be economical enough in volume to have mass commercial applications. So far we are very encouraged by the test results. We are expecting to finalize patented TEG design by January 2012. If the new process is successful we will entertain any companies interested in licensing our technology to contact us for more information. At present we have successfully designed new Thermo Electric elements and have tested them with great success. We are now working on the conductor contacts. If successful the complete couple can be produced in four steps. The elements can be configured into any size power cell required by our customers. Our standard elements are 150 to 200 amp which is unheard of in the industry.
TEG2: Series Thermoelectric modules
Low temperature with maximum hot side temperature of 190C (374F) call or e-mail for
specification.

Below is an example of our most popular high temperature TEG module in stock!!!!
|
Thermoelectric power module TEG1-12610-5.1 is designed and manufactured using technology that allows for converting heat directly into electricity. These modules are constructed of Bismuth-Tellurium (Bi-Te) based thermoelectric semiconductor material.
The modules are constructed with the ability to operate at temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) continuously and intermittently up to 280°C (536°F) heat source. Although it is **advised to regulate the TEG to temperatures not above 260°C (500°F).
The module will generate DC current as long as there is a temperature difference (DeltaT) across the module. As the difference becomes larger, greater amounts of DC current will be produced.
1. Size : 40(+/-1mm) x 40(+/-1mm)
Specification:
The following specifications are based on hot side temperature of 280°C and cold side at 50°C
Open circuit voltage: 8.6 volts
Internal resistance: 3 ohms
Match load output current: 1.4 amps
Match load output power: 5.9 watts
Heat flow across the module: Approx. 140 watts
Heat flow density: 8.8 watts/cm 2
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Before applying a heat load.
Always makes sure that the cold side is active. The cold side of the TEG cannot go above 190°C. The construction of the TEG uses two methods of bonding. The hot side uses aluminum to bond the elements while the cold side elements, use (SnSb) solder rated at 240°C.
Foot note: At 27°C the Module has an AC resistance of 1.3 to 1.8 Ohms measured @ 1000 Hz
** Temperatures above 300 C will cause premature failure of TEG over extended time.
