ET1.5-18-F2A

Thermoelectric generators, commonly referred to as TEGs, use the Peltier effect to create electrical energy from thermal energy. The Peltier effect occurs when an electric current is present across two dissimilar materials, a material with a higher electrical potential (usually metal) and a material with a lower electrical potential (usually semiconductor). When a voltage is applied to this device, the higher electric potential material absorbs heat on one side and releases heat on the other side. This is the essence of the Peltier effect. ET1.5-18-F2A is a thermoelectric module that utilizes this Peltier effect to generate voltage.

ET1.5-18-F2A is a type of thermoelectric module, which is made from a stack of Peltier elements and heat-sinking material. The device is designed to be placed between a hot and a cold side. The cold side contains a heat sink, while the hot side contains a thermoelectric material such as bismuth telluride. The heat-sinking material transfers heat from one side to the other and the Peltier elements generate voltage. The voltage generated is a direct result of the temperature differential between the two sides. The voltage generated is proportional to the temperature difference.

ET1.5-18-F2A has a maximum output voltage of 16.2V and a maximum current of 6.1A. The efficiency of the device is dependent on the temperature difference between the two sides. The higher the temperature difference, the higher the efficiency. As such, this module is most suitable for applications that require high temperature differences. Some of the typical applications include solar energy harvesting, thermally powered generators, automotive engines for cooling and heating, and air conditioning.

In addition to generating voltage, ET1.5-18-F2A can also be used as a heat pump. By reversing the current flow of the module, heat can be transferred from one side to the other. This can be used for applications such as refrigeration and cold storage. The heat pump efficiency of this module is also dependent on the temperature difference between the two sides.

ET1.5-18-F2A is a versatile thermoelectric module that can be used in a variety of applications. It is reliable and efficient and has a wide range of operating temperatures. Overall, the ET1.5-18-F2A is a great choice for applications that require high temperature differentials.
