The thermoelectric generator (TEG) is the main source of power on Cogmap1, Cogmap2, Clarion, Atlas, and Kondaru. It generates power via the thermal interaction of hot gas and cold gas inside the generator. In order to create and maintain a supply of hot and cold gas, two separate loops of gas pipes move through the TEG: The hot loop and the cold loop. As their names imply, the hot loop has equipment designed to heat up the gas within, and the cold loop has equipment designed to cool down the gas within.
