3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This section gives the technical specifications for the Gentherm Global Power Technologies
(GPT) Model P-5050 Thermoelectric generator.
3.1 Overview
The Model P-5050 Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) converts heat directly into electricity
with no moving parts. It is a reliable, low maintenance source of DC electrical power for any
application where regular utilities are unavailable or unreliable.
The Model P-5050 Thermoelectric Generator provides 67 Watts of electrical power from
the power unit at the beginning of life and at an ambient temperature of 20ºC. This power
is generated at a nominal 6 Volts, which can then be converted to other voltages using the
voltage converter. The converter is 83% efficient which provides 54 Watts of net electrical
power with a 12 Volt/24 Volt converter.
If the generator is to be operated at load conditions that force the output voltage to vary sig-
nificantly from 5.5 Volts, then less than the rated power will be available to the load. Figure
6 identifies the electrical parameters of the P-5050’s power unit as a function of the load
resistance.
3.2 Options
Mounting Stand: The P-5050 can be conveniently mounted on any platform with four
holes spaced as shown in Figure 11. It is important to mount the TEG at a height sufficient
to prevent direct flooding or heavy snowfall from interfering with the flow of cooling air. A
mounting stand is available from GPT.
Cathodic Protection Interface (CP): The Cathodic Protection Interface option provides a
termination point of cathode and anode cables up to 9 mm (00 AWG) in size, a meter to
monitor the voltage and current of the CP circuit and an adjustable resistor to control the
output power.
Remote Start system (TEG Controller board): The Remote Start option provides a
method of starting and stopping the TEG either locally or remotely, using on-board buttons,
SCADA signal interface or system measurements.
Optional VSR Terminal Block:
The optional VSR terminal block is an additional wiring har-
ness that provides the VSR and current measurement connection on a terminal block inside
the TEG Cabinet as opposed to directly connecting to the electronic circuit board
Note: Specifications shown are for standard configurations. G entherm Global Power
Technologies’s Integrated Systems Engineering Department is available to design
installations meeting different specifications including custom voltages, fuel supply
systems and nonstandard operating temperatures.
