Mind putting some back of the envelope calculation on the minimum power that can easily be draw for a given area/volume without too much optimization?
(I understand that if the designed is refined it will significantly improve)
- vivegi 4y agoFor a basic calculation on the number of modules, voltage and amps relationship, see: https://thermal.ferrotec.com/technology/thermoelectric-reference-guide/thermalref13/ https://thermal.ferrotec.com/technology/thermoelectric-refer... There is a worked example in 3.3 and Fig. 13-3 in the referenced article has the chart for various temperature differentials. The TEG modules are 30mm x 30mm and arranged in a grid in series-parallel configuration (the referenced article also has this concept illustrated). The area question can be addressed after determining the number of modules, exact series-parallell configuration and spacing between the modules. The volume question is a function of the heat sink geometry.
