Operation

  • Fan Operation --The TEF creates its own power by converting a small amount of heat from the space heater into electricity which drives the motor and turns the fan. No other external power source is needed.

  • The bottom surface of the TEF is heated by direct contact with the hot stove, absorbing a small amount of heat.

    • This heat is converted by a solid state thermoelectric generator into electricity, which drives an axial motor. The fan is directly attached to the motor's upper shaft.
