    Model Seebeck
    12710
    FREE ELECTRICITY FROM WASTE HEAT
    CONVERTS HEAT INTO ELECTRICITY USING THE SEEBECK EFFECT!
    QUALITY – PERFORMANCE – RELIABILITY from the USA
    THIS AMAZING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE CAN BE USED TO GENERATE
    POWER FROM WASTE HEAT or WHEN POWERED WITH A DIRECT CURRENT IT WILL ACT AS A
    HEATPUMP AND PROVIDE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES AT ONE SIDE MOVING THE HEAT
    AWAY TO THE OTHER SIDE.
    Designed specifically for power generation. This 40mm power generator
    is sealed for moisture protection and contains thermal elements formulated for
    optimum Seebeck power generation.
    Shipped direct from the USA.
    These high quality devices are far superior than the cheap
    peltier modules from China being sold as if they were TEG power generation
    modules when they are only poor quality TEC peltier modules.
    Each
    module contains 127 couples (254 thermal elements) that are formulated for optimum
    Seebeck.
    Important Note
    Regarding Wood Stove Fans
    If
    your fan has a defective motor replacing the TEG module (thermo electric
    generator)
    will not
    fix the problem.  The TEG module is the device
    which converts heat to electricity.  It is sandwiched between the
    upper and lower sections of the aluminum extrusions.  This allows heat to
    flow from the hot base through the TEG module and to the upper fins where the
    heat is then dissipated in the air flow.  These fans operate in a
    high heat environment which is hard on both the motors and the TEG
    modules.  Both items can and do go bad although the TEG module being
    exposed to the highest temperatures is the component that fails more
    often.  You can test your motor using a common household battery to
    determine if it is working correctly before you conclude that the TEG module
    needs replacement.
    When
    replacing the TEG module be sure to apply a thin layer of thermal grease on
    both faces of the new TEG module prior to assembly.
    This high thermal conductivity interface material is necessary to
    achieve optimum performance and to extend service life.
    Thermal grease is generally available at any
    store that sells computers and/or computer components.
    Stores like Best Buy sell thermal grease and
    it can also be found online at eBay or many other sites.
    Use
    a straight edge to apply and spread the thermal grease across the entire
    surface of the TEG.
    I’ve found that
    using the edge of a credit card works best.
    Gently
    press and rotate the TEG against the mounting surface of the top heatsink.
    This will help “seat” the module with full
    surface contact.
    Re-wire
    the new TEG module to the fan motor.
    You can either solder the leads to the fan motor or splice them to the
    short length of lead wire left from your old TEG module.
    As you re-connect the top half of the fan
    assembly (heatsink side) to the fan assembly base make sure you have remembered
    to apply thermal grease to the bottom face of the TEG module.
    Again, gently press and rotate to “seat” the
    TEG against the mounting surface.
    Be
    careful not to damage the TEG during the re-assembly process.
    TEG modules are strong in compression but
    they are weak in shear so
    do not
    pinch or over-torque.
    Use a bolt pattern when tightening the two
    halves of the assembly together (similar to how you would mount an automobile
    tire).
    This will prevent pinch points
    that could fracture the TEG and will result in uniform compression.
