Performance testing of thermoelectric generators at JPL

Creators

  • 1. Jet Propulsion Lab., Pasadena, CA

Description

Several thermoelectric generators, ranging in output power from 170 watts to microwatts, are undergoing testing at JPL. They represent a wide range of technologies using advanced PbTe, SiGe and cascaded PbTe and BiTe thermoelectric materials. Several of these generators are of an advanced concept while others are representative of the Nimbus, Transit, Viking and the Multi-Hundred Watt (MHW) technology. Of interest is the behavior of generators which have been tested for times in excess of 60,000 hours
