Earlier we announced that RMT engineers have achieved outstanding results by developing new improved thermoelectric materials. And now RMT is expanding this direction for different technical solutions. New high Z series of TECs with improved TE materials can be used in a wide variety of applications.
It is well known that depending on TE material composition thermoelectric figure of merit Z can reach a maximum at various temperatures. Therefore, TE material that is effective for one temperature range is not optimal for another temperature range. So most TEC applications can be divided into 3 groups depending on the temperature range in which the TECs operate (see the Table below). For each group RMT offers TECs with the most optimal TE material.
TECs series |
Description |
Applications |
Features |
Z1 |
High Z TECs for low temperature applications (less than room temperature) |
Multistage TECs which operate at a large temperature differences (for example, TECs for X-ray detectors) |
ΔTmax is higher by 2-3 °С; AC R is higher by 5-10% from the standard RMT datasheet |
Z2 |
High Z TECs for applications at room temperatures |
Powerful TECs with low TE pellets height (for example, 0.3 mm) |
High Z without changing AC R from the standard RMT datasheet |
Z3 |
High Z TECs for high temperature applications (higher than room temperature) |
TECs for telecom |
Energy consumption is lower by 15% or more; AC R is lower by 5-10% from the standard RMT datasheet |
New series of TECs, which have the corresponding additional letters in the serial numbering system (for example, 1MD02-018-03AN-Z3), are available for orders.
Please contact RMT concerning high Z series of TECs and for selection of most optimal TEC solutions.
