100 WATT THERMOELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM FOR BUOY APPLICATIONS.

Abstract

During this report period the computer program to investigate heat transfer in the intake-exhaust stack was debugged. The control circuit was redesigned and the purge blower relocated to bypass the generator. Two of the 15 couple bismuth telluride modules were tested. The objective of this test program was to experimentally evaluate electrical performance (current, voltage and power) which can be expected of the test modules when operated at generator design temperatures. Tests were performed with hot side temperatures of 240-250 and 260C, and cold side temperatures of 50C.
