Thermobility Series Power Generators Harvest Waste Heat and Convert to Usable Output DC Power
Laird Technologies has today announced the release of its new Thermobility Series Wireless Power Generator product line. The Thermobility Series are self-contained thin film thermoelectric power generators that harvest waste heat and convert it to usable output DC power.
Due There are two products available for trial:
• WPG-1 - up to 1 mW output power
• WPG-1S - up to 50 mW output power
“The Thermobility Wireless Power Generators offer a simple to use thermal energy harvesting device that can replace hard line power sources for wireless devices,” said Andrew Dereka, Laird Technologies Product Manager. “This product series takes away the complexity of designing a thermal energy harvester and provides a turn-key solution that allows design engineers to generate usable output power from minimal temperature differential.”
With their compact form factor and ability to harvest energy at the source, the Thermobility Series can be used in remote or mobile settings where a hard line is difficult to install. Many applications in petroleum and gas, commercial infrastructure, transportation and medical instrumentation which use wireless sensors to monitor temperature, composition or flow rate of gases and liquids will find value with integrating these products into their power source requirements.
