THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR FOR AUTONOMOUS POWER SUPPLY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F24H1/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: thermoelectric generator comprises inner and outer vertical rectangular boxes covered at the ends with bottoms forming primary and secondary circuits, a furnace with a flue, a charging hole, a gas nozzle, surfaces of both boxes and bottoms in the areas of primary and secondary circuits, in contact with heated water, are coated with a ribbed layer of dielectric material with high heat conductivity, inside the ribs of which there are thermoelectric sections made of several adjacent ribs, every of which contains a row of thermal emission converters, comprising pairs of sections made of different metals M1 and M2, ends of which are in parallel connected with contact wires also made of the pair of strips of identical metals M1 and M2, tightly pressure to each other, arranged along the length of ribs in the areas of heating and cooling, free ends of extreme rows of each thermoelectric section are connected to collectors by identical charges connected to current leads.

EFFECT: higher reliability and efficiency of a thermoelectric generator.
