Abstract

Problems of reliable operation thermoelectric devices have been considered. Generalizations of reliability theory for thermoelectric devices include: physical and mathematical reliability models, rational system of reliability parameters and characteristics have been presented. The methods of parameters and characteristics calculation and the methods of accelerated reliability tests have been elaborated. The test results and comparative analysis of thermoelectric cooling modules reliability have been given. The ways of thermoelectric devices reliability increase have been considered
