Introduction of TEG

TEG is the abbreviation of thermoelectric generator, which can convert heat directly into electricity, totally opposite to TEC. TEG can be used as anti-corrosion protection for oil pipeline and gas pipeline and it can also be used as a power supply for monitoring facilities.

The principle of TEG

The operating principle of TEG is based on Seebeck effect found by Tomac Norahh, a German physicist. In an open circuit of two different conductors, if there is temperature difference between two contacts, this circuit will produce electromotive force. It means that with the temperature gradient moving from high temperature region to low temperature region, the electrons in the heated object can produce electric current or electric charge accumulation.

The advantages of TEG

1 TEG can be used for a long time without shelf life limits and it also does not require special maintenance;

2 Thermopile operation and the generated voltage are both stable, and there is no short circuit phenomenon;

3 Because of no rotary parts, TEG produce no noise. When comparing with mechanical thermoelectric generator of DC power supply, this advantage is more obvious.
