Type of article: Article

Summary

THE POSSIBILITY OF USING THERMOCOUPLES MADE FROM BISMUTH-TELLURIUM ALLOYS IN THERMOELECTRIC GENERATION IS INVESTIGATED. A PROTOTYPE HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED USING THERMOELECTRIC MODULES COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AND NORMALLY USED FOR THERMOELECTRIC REFRIGERATORS. SOME EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ARE SUMMARIZED ; THE HOT SOURCE TEMPERATURE DURING THE TEST RUNS LIES IN THE RANGE 303-383 K (30-110 DEG C) AND ASCERTAINED EFFICIENCY IS UP TO 2%.
