What is the thermal converter?

The thermal converter, also known as the thermocouple or the thermoelectric generator, is an electronic device that is able to convert thermal energy into electricity. Although there are several types of thermal converters, all are based on the Seebeck effect. The Seebeck effect is a phenomenon in which the differences can be used to create an electric current. This was first discovered by Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1826 when he noted that two different metals could generate an electric charge if the connecting points of both metals are at different temperatures. Since then, it has been found that the thermoelectric effect generated by these circumstances has increased as the difference in temperature makes it.

One of the common misconceptions is that the thermal converter is the same as the thermal engine. The thermal motor converts the differences in the temperature to the mechanical output, while the thermal converter changes the temperature differences directly by the VNA electricity. Also, while thermal motors are often more efficient than thermalConverters, thermal converters can be more advantageous in some situations because they are smaller and more compact than most thermal engines. The key difference between thermal converters and thermal motors is that, unlike most generators, the thermal converter generally has no movable parts, except for a possible cooling fan.

Thermal converters can be used on a number of different situations. In addition to using thermal engines, research is also carried out to use waste heat from internal combustion engines, such as those used in cars and aircraft. If this can be achieved, the fuel efficiency of these machines could be increased by a relatively large amount. Thermal converters are also used in farme space probes to create a constant electricity source.

There are some problems of WED use of a thermal converter. For example, converters usually inOnly 5-10% efficiency if the voltage increases significantly. In order to create a sufficiently large output for the thermal converter that will compete with the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, the number of different elements used to generate electric current must increase. The final result is that the thermal converter will eventually be too big to be effective. However, research is carried out to increase the generative capacity of thermal converters, so in time these temperature differences can be used more efficiently without being so large that they lose their efficiency.
