In thermopile, why do we connect thermocouples in a series? Why not parallel? Can we also design a 'parallel connected thermocouple' (thermopile)?
Interesting. Is there any maintenance required for a thermopile?
Maintenance is minimal, but it's important to keep the thermocouple junctions clean and free of oxidization. This can be done by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or using a specialized cleaning solution. Checking for corrosion or damage to the wires is also important.
