    • Principle of operation is “SEEBECK EFFECT”.

    Seebeck Effect

     This term was discovered by Thomas Seeback in 1821.


     “When the junctions of two different metals are maintained at different
    temperatures, the emf is produced in the circuit. This is known as Seebeck
    effect.”

     ‘U’ flows across the circuit. The


    conductor 1 is maintained at ‘T+∆T’
    temperature.
     The conductor 2 is maintained at
    temperature ‘T’.
     Since the junctions are maintained at
    different temperatures, the emf

    WORKING

     When the two sides of the semiconductor are maintained with


    different temperatures, the emf is flows across the output circuit.
     As the heat moves from the hot side to the cold side, the charge
    carrier moves in the semiconductor materials and hence the
    potential difference is created.
     The electrons are the charge carriers in the case of N-type
    semiconductors and the Hole are in P-type semiconductors.
     In a stack, a number of P-type and N-type semiconductors is
    connected.
     A single PN connection can produce a Seebeck voltage of 40mV.
     The heat source such as natural gas or propane is used for remote
    power generation.
