Thermoelectrical Generators (SEEBECK Elements)

Thermoelectrical generators are constructed similar to peltier elements. In contrast to the PELTIER-effect, the SEEBECK-effect is used to get electrical energy on a direct way from a temperature difference within the element. (This is not the reversion of the PELTIER-effect. Both effects always work at the same time and cannot be observed apart from each other!). Since dimensioning a TEG is much more complex than the common use of a peltier element, please see the simple formulas and constants for the TEGs by EURECA.
