- Design tools
- Heating and cooling test equipment
- Mechanical workshop
- Rapid prototype circuit realization by milling plotter
- Test equipment for measurement in time and frequency domain
- Climatic chamber
- Electronic design automation software
- Electromagnetic field simulation software
- Typical applications
- The physical principle of Seebeck effect, used in thermoelectric generators becomes more and more popular with new MST processes with allow a cost-efficient production of TEGs. Typical applications can be found in sensor devices for industrial automation, where a heat-flow between a hot and a cold terminal can be used as power source.
- Case Study
- A development department is going to evaluate new concepts for maintenance free IOT devices by the use of thermoelectric generators but they need access to design and measurement equipment to test this. EnABLES will provide access to the facilities required. A typical project will offer 10 days access to the Fraunhofer IMS researchers and equipment required.
