Hi Tony, I'd be very intersted in anything you have that you'd be willing to share. The units now available surplus here in California are the classic 3M-520 units and there's one left if anyone is interested.
It's been a while but I installed a few Global units many years back but the customer has the paperwork for them and they're long gone from the scene. One Global unit I have here looks like a turbine... in a low cyclinder layout. I'm going to snap some pictures of these two different (3M & Global) units and post them in the group photos section. Mike from the group was nice enough to contact me off the group and provide a contact for someone still using these units. Jim S. and I had a nice long chat about them as he and I have talked a few times in the past. The 3M units were rated for 10 years at full power and he'd had them in regular service for 20 plus years (at 2/3 power). So the reliability is there... the informal propane gals per year is just over 400 so a common 575 gal propane tank would work quite nicely to power a standard size com site with about 15 amps at 14.1 vdc. . Please email me off the group if you like... I'll make it worth your while to share the information... thanks skipp >, Tony Faiola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Skipp: > > I think the manuals are still in my library for Global > Thermoelectric, a Canadian company. > > If you are interested, let me know. > > Ciao, Tony, K3WX > > > skipp025 wrote: > > Re: Thermoelectric Generator > > > > Anyone on the group every owned/used or played with a > > Thermoelectric Generator?
