Peltier Tile Calculation 1

[metalman8357]

Hi all,

I'm working on a prototype for a customer that might incorporate the use of thermoelectrics for power recycling. I would like to calculate the voltage generation for using a square tile (0.5" x 0.5") with a constant temperature difference of 35 deg. F. I would probably just use an off the shelf peltier tile at first for the prototype...something like this: Peltier Tile on Amazon


Can someone please point me in the right direction for calculating this? The cool side will be in contact with water at 60 deg. F and the hot side will be in contact with a heated metal kept at 95 deg. F.

Thanks,
M

Almost all the TEC manufacturers have either equations or calculators on their websites.

All of these companies list equations for cooling by applying some voltage and calculating a heat dissipation. I'd like to use these in reverse and have a voltage generated from a temperature difference. I can't seem to find the right equation to give me an estimate on these numbers...
