Z-meters

RMT produces Z-Meters - devices for fast diagnostics of performance and reliability parameters of TE modules.

The RMT's Z-Meters have extended capabilities, many useful functions for fast and accurate testing of various types of thermoelectric modules.

The following parameters of thermoelectric modules are to be measured:

  • AC Resistance (R)
  • Thermoelectric Figure-of-Merit (Z)
  • Maximum Temperature Difference (DTmax)
  • Time Constant of TE Modules (t)

The Z parameter and DTmax are resulted from Harman method concept.

Advanced technique developed in RMT allows precise characterization of single-stage and two-stage TE modules, measurement of AC resistance and time constant in a wide range.

Additionally, it is possible to evaluate quality of three or more-stage TE modules by the measurement of electrical resistance and time constant.
