Tellurex
Automotive Thermoelectric
Across the industry, thermoelectric devices are being investigated to convert waste-heat into usable energy using the Seebeck Effect.
Tellurex thermoelectric engineering skills and components can help you meet your CAFE fuel efficiency goals with our comprehensive thermoelectric knowledge of waste heat recovery, auxiliary power units, advanced materials and best practices. For example cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), uses engine heat to simultaneously generate both electricity and heat useful for other purposes, such as passenger comfort or battery life extension. It is one of the most attractive forms of energy recycling.
Our innovations include new ways to manufacture bulk nanotechnology materials with industry-leading efficiencies, generating higher electrical output across a wide range of temperatures. We can heat, cool and dry sensitive environments.
Our technology also offers you the opportunity to provide power to lighting, engine management or chassis systems and other controls, independent of the alternator and without engine drag, for fuel economy gains of up to five percent.
Tellurex thermoelectric strategies can also help you meet your APU (auxiliary power unit) requirements, when fuel economy strategies or operating restrictions require engine shut down.
Tellurex offers engineering services to customers who wish to leverage our quarter-century of knowledge leadership in thermoelectrics for their internal product development programs.
Tellurex has become a global provider of thermoelectric modules that deliver the best performance across a variety of common industry price points. Tellurex is ISO 9001:2008 certified and is a Tier One supplier to major OEMs and an approved Defense Industry supplier.
To help reduce your program cycle time, Tellurex has developed a unique and proprietary product calculator to help you understand the best trade-off of performance, size and price to attain your engineering goals. Please contact our engineering and sales center to utilize this service.
