Thermoelectric material: The Core of Thermoelectric Module

MOSCOW, Russian Federation - Dec. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- During power production, the near about two third of energy produced from fossil fuel is wasted in form of heat. Many industries are trying to consume this heat into useful electricity and this can be possible by good thermoelectric material, however, it’s very hard to find such material.  To use the thermoelectric material for commercial purpose, it’s necessary to increase their efficiency and it is possible now by the use of doping tin selenide with sodium as a thermoelectric material researched by Northwestern University. This material produce large amount of electricity significantly instead of undoped material.

The high efficiency peltier module configured from Bi2Te3 material is also available for lower range by Ferrotec nord. The modules may be applied for long time at a heat source of upto 180⁰C. Remember, the conversion efficiency of heat to electricity can be maximum 3-4% for Bi2Te3based thermoelectric module. Also it may be covered with carbon thermal for conducting heat sore more or lesser as per customer request.

 Ferrotec nord is a company who offers the product made from thermoelectric material. The company is good enough to develop, manufacture and offers its customers a series of thermoelectric generating modules for conversion of heat to DC electricity. The most commonly used thermoelectric materials are Bi2Te3, Pbte, SiGe. The thermoelectric material used by ferrotec nord is Bi2Te3.          They manufactured a number of thermoelectric modules which can be used for various electric equipments such as fans, light sources, mobile mosquito trap generators, self-contained power supplies, battery chargers, pipeline cathode protection equipment, hot water flow meters, geothermal heat converters and devices using power from centralized heating systems. The lower temperature can be up to 250⁰C, medium can be (up to 250⁰C to 500⁰C) and higher temperature can be higher than 500⁰C for the applications designed with the thermo material.

Although many thermoelectric materials are used such as Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3), Lead Telluride (PbTe), Silicon Germanium (SiGe), and Bismuth-Antimony (Bi-Sb) alloys according to situation, but due to crystal structure, Bi2Te3 has its own merit and importance over others. It is highly anisotropic in nature. Its structure makes it different as allow four times more electrical resistivity two times more thermal conductivity.For further information visit @ http://ferrotec-nord.com
