Thermal Market – Development of Novel Thermoelectric Materials Widens Expanse
In thermoelectric energy generation environments, the advent of a newer thermoelectric material for thermal products is a breakthrough to capture residual energy. This energy is usually lost during the regular process of the conversion of waste heat into electricity. Based on common semiconductor telluride, the new material is environmentally-stable, and is expected to capture 15 to 20 percent of waste heat into electricity. This strengthens the correlation between thermoelectric materials and the thermoelectric effect. Based on the merits exhibited, the new material is gauged to have a 2.2 thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT), the highest among thermoelectric materials available so far. Meanwhile, under laws of thermoelectricity, the higher ZT of a material connotes higher efficiency for converting heat into electricity.

Such developments point at a positive outlook for the uptake of thermoelectric-based HVAC cooling systems in industrial and commercial environments. For instance, HVAC cooling systems based on the Seebeck effect that create voltage from temperature difference are increasingly being installed. Such moves are aimed to comply with governmental guidelines for energy-efficient processes and to reduce wastage of energy.
Exponential growth of the IT & telecommunications sector has indirectly led to a spurt in the demand for thermal products. HVAC cooling systems that use thermal products find wide use for cooling servers and computers. This serves to boost the thermal market, indirectly. Expansion of the food and beverage sector in developing economies such as India has indirectly led to a spurt in demand within the thermal market. Strong macro-economic indicators, reforms, and liberalized foreign direct investment have massively expanded the scope of individual operations for the production of food and beverages. Food production, packaging, shipping, and distribution are some energy-hungry operations in the food and beverage sector. Such operations heavily depend upon HVAC systems to maintain optimum indoor temperatures on shop floors.
