Thermoelectric System and Method |
| 摘要 |
A method for detecting a fault in a thermoelectric device (102), the method comprising: applying a voltage across the thermoelectric device (102); ceasing to apply the voltage to the thermoelectric device (102) after a predefined period of time; measuring a Seebeck voltage Vs across the thermoelectric device (102); comparing Vs to a first threshold voltage VT; and creating a record of a fault if Vs is below VT. |

1. A method for detecting a fault in a thermoelectric device, the method comprising:
applying a voltage across the thermoelectric device for a predetermined period of time; measuring a Seebeck voltage VS across the thermoelectric device; comparing VS to a first threshold voltage VT; and creating a record of a fault if VS is below VT; the method further comprising providing a temperature measuring system, and wherein a length of the predefined period of time depends upon a measurement of the temperature measuring system. |
