Abstract

1,013,265. Thermo-electric assembly. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. Sept. 6, 1962 [Nov. 8, 1961], No. 34223/62. Heading H1K. A thermo-electric assembly is formed from an insulating frame member having several spaced open-ended compartments, each containing a single thermoelectric pellet and conductive connections provided by plasma jetspraying, bonded to the ends of each pellet. In the embodiment shown in the Figure, semiconductor pellets 8 of alternate P and N-type material of e.g. bismuth tellurium selenide, lead telluride, bismuth antimony telluride or zinc antimonido, are placed in open-ended compartments 6 in a frame 4 of insulating material such as mica, ceramics, glass, fibre or silicon resin. The separating walls of the compartments between each pair of thermoelectrically opposite pellets are cut back or of reduced height adjacent the opposite surfaces 9 of the pellets. Conductive material 10 is then applied by plasma jet-spraying to provide thermal and electrical connection between adjacent pellets. External leads 12 for the assembly are soldered or brazed to two separate conductive layers 10. The ends of the insulating member not coated with conductive material may be provided with fins for cooling or liquid may be circulated around these ends of the assembly. The assembly may be of polygonal or circular section.
