Generating Modules

TB Nord produces generating modules assembled from Bi₂Te₃ - Sb₂Te₃ materials in two variants:

with application of tin solder – 230 °C m.p.t
with application of solder containing Pb – 280 °C m.p.t

♦ Modules are fabricated from temperature optimized thermoelectrical materials.

♦ Multilayers diffusion barriers provide exclusively small temperature degradation of modules during exploitation at high temperatures up to 150 °C.

♦ Application of H - technology diffusion barriers is used to get small degradaion of modules during exploitation at temperatures up to 230 °C (see chapter Slices)

♦ Layers of elastic compound introduced between substrates and semiconductor dices effectively reduce thermo-mechanical stresses arisen at big temperature gradient in modules.

♦ Cathaphoretic coating - AnticorThermoPlus - provides protection of all conductive parts inside modules against oxidation.

Specialists of Technological Bureau NORD in collaboration with technologists of affiliated Company RusTec LLC discovered feature of P-type which is important for TE generators performance at temperature above 120⁰C.

Modules produced from dices made by H-technology (see chapter Slices) demonstrate results for high temperature storage test represented in Fig.

Module Marking

For the module marking we normally use the following index.

MTG-XXX-YY-ZZ MHCS, where
MTG – module thermoelectric generating
XXX – number of couples
YY – side size of dice in mm
ZZ – dice hight in mm
M – glued technology if such technilogy is applied
H – if H- technilogy of diffusion barriers is applied
C – application of Anticor Thermo Plus coating
S – application of sealing around perimeter
