NATURAL GAS ALTERNATIVE THERMOELECTRIC HEATING, WHAT IS PELTIER HOW IT WORKS [email protected] What is Peltier? Peltier emerges as a thermoelectric system. Thermoelectric system, on the other hand, is the name given to the systems that provide conversion between electrical energy and heat energy. Thermoelectric effect can be explained by Joule's law, Peltier effect, Seebeck effect and Thomson effect. A thermoelectric module consists of thermoelement materials consisting of N and P type semiconductors. By connecting this thermoelement system electrically in series and thermally in parallel, it is ensured to obtain thermoelectric modules with different capacities for different purposes. Peltier History and Structure As a result of the studies on the semiconductor, the peltier element, which is frequently used in the market today, was discovered. The first step in the discovery of Peltier was taken by the Estonian scientist Thomas Johann Seeback in 1823. Seeback, who made a ring using two different metals, observed that the compass needle in the environment deviated when he heated the joints of this ring. With this discovery, it was understood that when semiconductors are exposed to heat, they create a magnetic field around them. #peltier #thermoelectric #economicheating
