Influence of electrical and thermal resistances of contacts and interconnects on the coefficient of performance of thermoelectric module

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The paper describes a method for calculating the maximum coefficient of performance for a real model of a thermoelectric module, which takes into account the influence of the electrical resistance of contacts and interconnects and the thermal resistance of interconnect and insulating plates. The dependences of the maximum coefficient of performance of the module on the height of its legs and temperature difference are calculated. A comparative analysis of the coefficient of performance of a real module model with its "ideal" value, which does not take into account the influence of electrical and thermal resistances of contacts, interconnects and insulating plates, is carried out.
