Description

As a key component of liquid metal cooled fast reactors for space application (SP-100), thermoelectric-electromagnetic (TEM) pumps are being developed to circulate liquid metal through the reactor, primary loop piping and power converters. The TEM pump is a self energized, DC conduction, electromagnetic pump using thermoelectric materials to internally generate its driving electrical power from the heat flow between the hot pump ducts and a heat sink (radiator)
