The module performance is evaluated by the open circuit voltage, the power generation, the heat flow from high temperature side to low temperature side, the power generation efficiency, and so on. ADVANCE RIKO developed the evaluation instrument of the thermoelectric module in vacuum or inert gas (PEM-2) and small thermoelectric module in vacuum (Mini-PEM). To get the information of the chance at long time of thermoelectric module, the time dependence of the module performance, we developed the evaluation instrument of the thermoelectric module in air (F-PEM). In this purpose, to verify the instrument performance of F-PEM, we measured the open circuit voltage, the power generation, the heat flow from high temperature side to low temperature side, and the power generation efficiency in peltier module by F-PEM and PEM-2. The open circuit voltage and the maximum power generation agreed well with F-PEM and PEM-2. The heat flow from high temperature side to low temperature side by F-PEM is about 10 % larger than that by PEM-2. The power generation efficiency by F-PEM is below 5% smaller than that by PEM-2. The measurement result by F-PEM is enough reliable.
