THERMOELECTRIC POWER MODULES.

Abstract

During this reporting period the four thermo electric power modules which were put on life test completed 2000 hours of unattended operation. A hot junction temperature of 800 C was main tained. During this time period satisfactory performance of the modules was observed and the test is continuing. Two additional modules were started on a cycled life test, one hour on and one and one half hours off for an eight hour period, and continuous operation for the remainder of the 24 hour period. These modules completed satisfactorily 80 cycles and 780 hours of operating time at a hot junction temperature of 850 C and the test is continuing. (Author)
