Founded in 1992, Interm was established by a group of scientists and engineers who had been performing fundamental and applied research in the field of thermoelectricity for many years and combined their knowledge and expertise to develop innovative technologies of thermoelectric module assembling and implement them in full-scale manufacturing.
The qualitative distinction of the modules produced by our company is due to the use of an original technology developed by our specialists, which is constantly improved using advanced scientific and technical achievements.
The presence of a full production cycle of thermoelectric modules, starting from the growth of thermoelectric material ingots to the testing processes of finished modules, has allowed us to fully realize the possibilities for optimizing the parameters of the modules designed for each specific application.
We begin optimizing the parameters technologically at the stage of thermoelectric material growth. Ultimately, this is what has caused significant and stable user interest in our products.
Thermoelectric Material Manufacturing
For the production of thermoelectric material, we use original technological equipment developed and manufactured by us.
Variation of process parameters
This equipment allows a wide range of variations in the technological process parameters.
Optimal Material Properties
These variations enable us to obtain material with the necessary optimal properties.
For different operating temperature ranges and conditions of module use, a specific composition of base materials and doping impurities is selected, which ensures optimal parameters of the modules for the operating modes chosen by the customer.
A separate technological process is used to manufacture thermoelectric material for generator modules.
The main characteristics, namely the temperature dependences of the Seebeck coefficient α, electric conductivity σ, thermal conductivity and figure of merit Z of typical Bi2Te3-based materials produced by our company are listed in the Technology and Quality control section.
Specialists in the field of thermoelectricity can use these dependencies to develop technological requirements for the modules they order from INTERM.
