THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR MODULE AND THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01L35/04 H01L35/28 H01L35/34 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to thermoelectric generators. A thermoelectric generator (2) has multiple modules (1), each having a first end (3) and a second end (4) and which consist of an internal pipe (5) and an external pipe (6) and thermoelectric elements (7) in between. The modules (1) at their first end (3) or second end (4) are attached by their internal pipe (5) or external pipe (6) to an electrical conductor (9). The electrical conductor (9) is laminated and has a first end face (14) and a second end face (15), as well as a lateral surface (16). The first end face (14) is connected to the second end face (15) by multiple openings (17). Each opening is designed to attach one corresponding module (1). The electrical conductor (9) has electroconductive contacts (18) for electrical connection with contacts (8) of separate modules (1).

EFFECT: providing versatile or universal application in cars, including in existing types and models, providing reliable separation of fluid media and electrical contact.
