TEG is an acronym for ‘thermoelectric generator’. A TEG is a device utilizing one or more thermoelectric models as the primary component/s, followed by a cooling system that can be either passive or active. Such as an open air heat sink, fan cooled heat sink, or fluid cooled. These components are then fabricated into an assembly to function as one unit called a TEG.

When heat is applied to the hot side of a TEG, electricity is produced. Almost any heat source can be used to generate electricity, such as solar heat, geothermal heat, even body heat! In addition the efficiency of any device or machine that generates heat as a by-product can be drastically improved by recovering the energy lost as heat.

Can you really generate that much electricity from waste heat?

You may be surprised just how much you can! Here is a small example of how much power you can generate. Below is a pot of hot water with 4-thermoelectric modules attached around the sides. The output from this simple thermoelectric generator (TEG) is about 8 watt and the light is a 12 volt auto lamp.

Thermoelectric generators have been in use for many years by NASA to power spacecraft and the oil and gas industry to power remote monitoring stations around the globe. Only in recent years has this technology become available to the general public and TEG Power is at the forefront of this thermoelectric energy revolution. We are the first manufacture to provide practical and affordable thermoelectric generators to the energy conscious consumer.

Almost any heat source can be used to generate electricity, such as solar heat, ocean heat, geothermal heat, even body heat!
