After calculation, the effective properties of the module are converted to the average material properties of a p-n thermoelectric pillar pair inside the module: Seebeck coefficient (S TE), electrical resistivity (ρ TE), and thermal conductivity (k TE). For a commercial thermoelectric module (Altec 1091) chosen to verify the novel method, the measured S TE has a maximum value at bath temperature of 110°C; ρ TE shows a positive linear trend dependent on the bath temperature, and k TE increases slightly with increasing bath temperature. The results show the method to have satisfactory measurement performance in terms of practicability and reliability; the data for tests near 23°C agree with published values.
