Im curious, exactly what is a thermoelectric module?
A thermoelectric module is a small solid state device that can operate as a heat pump or as an electrical power generator. When used to generate electricity, the module is called a thermoelectric generator (TEG). When used as a heat pump, the module utilizes the Peltier effect to move heat and is called a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). MELCOR is the world leader in TEC manufacturing. (Our products are also well suited for some TEG applications, however we address only TECs in this literature.
