Abstract :
The HZ-14 is a thermoelectric module that converts low grade, waste heat into electricity. To obtain optimum performance from the HZ-14, it is important to address several key points when using the module in an application. These key points in the use of the module are discussed and methods of identifying the causes of inferior performance are addressed. The performance characteristics of the module are also described.
