Thermo-electrical power

Description: This thermal analysis technique is a combination of the Seebeck-effect and the Peltier effect. Seebeck-effect: the EMF is proportional to the difference in temperature. Between two thermo-electric contacts there is an electrical circuit. Peltier-effect: when a current passes through a contact consisting of two different conductors, energy is absorbed or released dependent on the direction of the current. TEP is used for ageing studies of metals, determining the purity of metals and phase transformations.

Technical details:
Measuring range	between 1 µV/°K and 200 µV/°K
Ideal sample size	length between 4 and 10 cm, diameter or side max 5 mm
Resistance heating	indirect using a Peltier element

 

Room: Thermal analysis room 00.19
