THERMOELECTRIC LINK FOR PIPE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F24H1/00 F24J3/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: thermoelectric link comprises a coolant pipe, coated with a layer of a dielectric material with high heat conductivity, made of separate circular toothed ribs with teeth that are tightly pressed to each other, inside of each one there are circular zigzag-shaped rows of thermoelectric sections, made of alternating and joined thermoemission converters, each comprising a pair of sections made of different metals M1 and M2, ends of which are flattened and tightly pressed to each other and arranged in zones of heating and cooling, near the edge of the rib tooth and the external surface of the coolant pipe, accordingly, besides, free ends of zigzag-shaped circular rows of each thermoelectric section are connected to each other by links, and free ends of circular rows of extreme thermoelectric sections, in their turn, are connected by electric wires with collectors and current leads.

EFFECT: increased reliability and efficiency of a thermoelectric link for a pipe.
