Thermoelectric GeneratorTEG

Power Generation - Seebeck Element


40mm x 40mm

Model Seebeck 12710


FREE ELECTRICITY FROM WASTE HEAT

CONVERTS HEAT INTO ELECTRICITY USING THE SEEBECK EFFECT!

QUALITY – PERFORMANCE – RELIABILITY from the USA

THIS AMAZING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE CAN BE USED TO GENERATEPOWER FROM WASTE HEAT or WHEN POWERED WITH A DIRECT CURRENT IT WILL ACT AS AHEATPUMP AND PROVIDE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES AT ONE SIDE MOVING THE HEATAWAY TO THE OTHER SIDE.

Designed specifically for power generation. This 40mm power generatoris sealed for moisture protection and contains thermal elements formulated foroptimum Seebeck power generation.Shipped direct from the USA.

These high quality devices are far superior than the cheappeltier modules from China being sold as if they were TEG power generationmodules when they are only poor quality TEC peltier modules.

Eachmodule contains 127 couples (254 thermal elements) that are formulated for optimumSeebeck.




Important NoteRegarding Wood Stove Fans

Ifyour fan has a defective motor replacing the TEG module (thermo electricgenerator) will not fix the problem. The TEG module is the devicewhich convertsheat to electricity. It is sandwiched between theupper and lower sections of the aluminum extrusions. This allows heat toflow from the hot base through the TEG module and to the upper fins where theheat is then dissipatedin the air flow. These fans operate in ahigh heat environment which is hard on both the motors and the TEGmodules. Both items can and do go bad although the TEG module beingexposed to the highest temperatures is the component that fails moreoften. You can test your motor using a common household battery todetermine if it is working correctly before you conclude that the TEG moduleneeds replacement.

Whenreplacing the TEG module be sure to apply a thin layer of thermal grease onboth faces of the new TEG module prior to assembly. This high thermal conductivity interface material is necessary toachieve optimum performance and to extend service life. Thermal grease is generally available at anystore that sells computers and/or computer components. Stores like Best Buy sell thermal grease andit can also be found online at or many other sites.

Usea straight edge to apply and spread the thermal grease across the entiresurface of the TEG. I’ve found thatusing the edge of a credit card works best.

Gentlypress and rotate the TEG against the mounting surface of the top heatsink. This will help “seat” the module with fullsurface contact.

Re-wirethe new TEG module to the fan motor.You can either solder the leads to the fan motor or splice them to theshort length of lead wire left from your old TEG module.

As you re-connect the top half of the fanassembly (heatsink side) to the fan assembly base make sure you have rememberedto apply thermal grease to the bottom face of the TEG module. Again, gently press and rotate to “seat” theTEG against the mounting surface. Becareful not to damage the TEG during the re-assembly process. TEG modules are strong in compression butthey are weak in shear so do not pinch or over-torque. Use a bolt pattern when tightening the twohalves of the assembly together (similar to how you would mount an automobiletire). This will prevent pinch pointsthat could fracture the TEG and will result in uniform compression.
