Abstract

An experiment for generation performance of semiconductor thermoelectric module was carried out, and some useful results were obtained. One is the relationship between generation performance and hot-side temperature, when cold-side temperature is kept constant. The other is the relationship between generation performance and cold-side temperature, when hot-side temperature is kept constant. While semiconductor thermoelectric module is used as power supply, inner-resistance which is changed with temperature has great influence on its performance. A simplified calculation based on theoretical method was conducted and the calculating data agree well with the experimental results.
