Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4752174
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
To provide a portable thermoelectric generator that achieves further miniaturization, flattening, and weight reduction of its entire unit than a prior art, and that makes it possible to further increase the power generation output of a thermoelement.
In this thermoelectric generator 11, a power generation unit 2 having many thermoelements 7 is held between a heat input 3 that burns a fuel to heat the power generation unit 2 and a heat dissipation portion 5 that dissipates heat generated by the power generation unit 2. The heat dissipation portion 5 having a passage 23 of a cooling liquid in its inside is configured to cool the power generation unit 2 by the heat of vaporization of the cooling liquid that flows inside the passage 23.
