THERMOELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR FOR THE LINE RECORDER MASS SPECTROMETER (THEORETICAL DESIGN)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4087790
A theoretical discussion of a thermoelectric device for ccoling the line recorder chemical trap is presented. For such a device semiconductor materials are employed to do the heat pumping. The materials considered are lead telluride (PbTe) and bismuth telluride (Bi/sub 2/Te/sub 3/). Also included are a brief treatment of semiconductor thermoelectric theory and design calculations for a single-stage and a twostage refrigerator. At present a lead telluride unit appears impractical, and a bismuth telluride unit appears too costly. A recommendation is made to delay the construction of a thermoelectrically cooled chemical trap. Meanwhile, a bismuth telluride refrigeration unit should be perfected for other uses. (auth)
