1. Usually a number of thermocouples connected in series called thermopiles are used. 2. Power generation using multiple thermocouples, as in a thermopile , is common. 3. The thermopile & galvanometer system was invented by Melloni. 4. They used a thermopile to determine that sunspots were cooler than the surrounding regions. 5. Thermopile , composed of multiple thermocouples in series.6. It is the only true radiation resistant thermopile . 7. Manufacturers of thermopile thermometers say they are more accurate because they conduct several temperature scans. 8. Thermopiles heated by kerosene lamps were used to run batteryless radio receivers in isolated areas.9. This greatly reduced the radiant heat that reached the thermopile when the tube was empty. 10. The black coating on the thermopile sensor absorbs the radiation that is converted to heat.
