SNAP III--THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR ENVIRONMENTAL TEST. VOLUME II
The thermoelectric generator operated for about 250 hr during the entire test program. The efficiency varied approximately 5% of the total performance during the vibration cycle, and remained relatively stable during the acceleration and shock tests. Recovery was complete in all cases. Oscillatory d-c superimposed on the d-c output of the generator was observed durlng the shock and vibratlon tests, and dlsappeared when the environmental forces were discontinued. The maximum d-c ripple was 7.4 mlllivolts rms in the y-Plane durlng the shock and vibratlon cycles. It was concluded that SNAP III thermoelectric generator No. 1G5 is reliable in environments simulating the WS- 117 L Vehicle. (auth)
