What you are looking for is the steady state condition of your system. This
is a classic problem and will require a significant amount of detail data
regarding air flows on both side, power levels, ambient temperature, etc.
Where are you geographically? Have you established all these details?

Re Re TEG's hot side temp.
I am not to good on the figuring of C vs F for temps. my system runs anywhere
between 90 F and 110 F i live in tacoma wa so its not to hot.
With the voltage and watts the voltage is 12 from the system plugs and the
watts.. well i planned on using a board so that could be adjusted. I just
started doing some reading and configs on paper for the small unit put am
worried that the hot side may be too hot.

Re Re TEG's hot side temp.
It seems to me that rather than worrying about what the
temperature of the hot side is, or how to calculate the hot side
temperature, one should be more concerned on how to effectively
utilize the hot side heat i.e. - co-generation!
It seems rather foolish to me to simply remove or dissipate
the hot side energy, when you could simply use it to make a
really nice hot cup of coffee, or something ...
