Table 2 – Corrected Air Temperature for Wind (in miles per hour and °F)
2.
Using the corrected air temperature as determined in Step 1, find the required Set Power using
the graph on Figure 8. To do this:
a)
Find the corrected temperature along the bottom of the graph labeled “Ambient
Temperature”.
b)
From that number, go up the graph and stop when the path touches the curve (diagonal
line).
c)
From that intersection, follow a line to the numbers on the left labeled “Set Power”.
Continuing with the previous example, if the corrected air temperature is 27°F (-3°C), based on
the graph on Figure 8, the Set Power is 620 W.

Enter this number in the Start-Up Data Sheet. Do not operate the TEG beyond this number.
