Title:
LAMINATED THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/053038
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A laminated thermoelectric conversion element (101) has: a first end surface (3) and a second end surface (4), which are facing each other; a heat absorbing surface (1); and a heat dissipating surface (2). In the laminated thermoelectric conversion element, p-type thermoelectric conversion material layers (11) and n-type thermoelectric conversion material layers (12) are alternately laminated to each other, while being electrically connected to each other in a meandering manner by having an insulating layer (13) between a part of each of the p-type thermoelectric conversion material layers and a part of each of the n-type thermoelectric conversion material layers. In a middle portion sandwiched between the first end surface (3) and the second end surface (4), insulating layer ends are at positions retracted by a first length (G1) from the heat absorbing surface (1) or the heat dissipating surface (2), and at the interface closest to the first end surface (3) or the second end surface (4), the insulating layer ends are at positions retracted by a second length (G2) from planes (24a, 24b) that include the heat absorbing surface (1) or the heat dissipating surface (2), said second length being longer than the first length (G1).
