Title:
THERMOELECTRIC GENERATION DEVICE HAVING UNIFORM POWER GENERATION PERFORMANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/167203
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thermoelectric generation device having uniform power generation performance, comprising: a thermoelement for generating electromotive force by using a temperature difference between a high-temperature unit and a low-temperature unit; an absorber plate provided in the high-temperature unit of the thermoelement; a heating source for transferring heat from the bottom of the high-temperature unit; and a thermal energy adjusting device arranged between the absorber plate and the heating source so as to move the position of the thermoelement so that the interval between the heating source and the thermoelement is changed according to the temperature of the thermoelement. According to the present invention, a thermal energy adjusting device is provided between a thermoelement and a heating source so that the distance between the thermoelement and the heating source is flexibly changed according to the thermal energy state of the heating source, and thus thermoelectric generation device performance is enhanced and reliability is improved by minimizing thermal strain and mechanical stress of the thermoelement, while maintaining the uniform power generation performance of the thermoelement.
