Performance characteristic of thermoelectric module

The purpose of this study is to determine the physical properties and performance curves of the thermoelectric module. In order to do that a test rig has been fabricated and 2 thermoelectric modules are tested which are TEC1-12705 and CP1.4-71-06L. The voltage generated by the thermoelectric module...
