HEATING DEVICE WITH THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR, AND THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F24H3/12 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: heating device includes the device converting fuel combustion energy to heat energy, on the housing of which one or several thermoelectric generators (TEG) are fixed. TEG includes support heated plate on which heat equalising plate with thermoelectric generator modules installed on it is fixed in movable manner by using bimetallic plates. Heat equalising plate is fixed on support heated plate by means of hinge to horizontal rotary axis. Bimetallic plates are installed between support heated plate and heat equalising plate so that the possibility of rotating action on heat equalising plate of bimetallic plates when they are heated is provided. Cold junctions of modules are installed on cooling air radiator, and modules are installed on heat equalising plate through metal heat-conducting units and separated from each other with heat-insulating material.

EFFECT: invention allows reducing mass and dimensions parametres of heating device, providing constant level of generated voltage at TEG outlet and providing TEG protection against overheat.
