Abstract
The possibility of using thermocouples made from BiTe alloys in thermoelectric generation is investigated. A prototype has been assembled at the ‘Istituto di Fisica Tecnica’ in Palermo University using thermoelectric modules commercially available and normallu used for thermoelectric refrigerators. Some experimental results are summarized; the hot source temperature during the test runs lies in the range 30–110° and ascertained efficiency is up to 2%.
