Title:
THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006303037
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a thermoelectric power generator which uses a thermoelectric element having a structure that can effectively prevent the deformation of a fin.
A heat collecting fin 4 for recovering heat is provided on the end face of the high-temperature side of a thermoelectric module 3 generating electric power according to the difference of temperatures on both sides thereof, and a cooling case 5 to be cooled by a refrigerant is provided on the end face of the low-temperature side thereof. Heat radiation fins 50 are provided within the cooling case 5, and the extending direction of the heat collecting fin 4 and that of the heat radiation fin 50 are preferably crossed orthogonally, and they are mutually functions as a beam.
