Abstract

Step-by-step control is very important in the manufacturing of thermoelectric generators and cooling modules. Of key importance is quality control of thermoelectric material rods, and discs cut from such rods. This work describes two installations for measuring the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of rods, as well as for measuring the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of discs. It is established that using such devices in the practice of manufacture of cooling modules enables enhancement of module quality and reduction of material waste by 7% to 15%.
