Title:
熱電発電装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4595123
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A thermoelectric generator comprises a thermoelectric generating module and a catalyst burning heat source. The thermoelectric generating module is composed by using thermoelectric conversion devices connected in series where one end of a p-type thermoelectric conversion material is electrically connected to one end of an n-type thermoelectric conversion material and by connecting the unconnected end of the p-type thermoelectric conversion material of thermoelectric conversion device to the unconnected end of the n-type thermoelectric conversion of another thermoelectric conversion device. The catalyst burning heat source is disposed so as to heat one surface of the thermoelectric generating module. The thermoelectric generator is a power supply suitable for the power supply of portable devices and excellent in portability, and can supply power with a stable performance for a long time.
